Marshawn Lynch could be an Oakland Raider by the end of Wednesday.

The Raiders have agreed to terms with the currently retired running back's camp on a deal that's expected to be consummated Wednesday, Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

The Raiders and Seattle Seahawks have also come together on the groundwork of a trade for the rights to Lynch.

The Raiders will send a 2018 fifth-round pick to the Seahawks and Oakland will get a 2018 sixth-round pick from the Hawks in return, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports.

Lynch is currently in Haiti building schools and houses with former teammates Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett, but he's expected to fly back to the U.S. in order to complete a physical with the Raiders. It's believed to be the final hurdle to pass to land Lynch with his hometown team.

Lynch will also have to file the necessary paperwork to rescind his retirement and return to the league.

According to Garafolo and Rapoport, the Raiders and Lynch have agreed upon a $3-million base contract with a $2-million bonus for a 1,000-yard season and a max value of $8.5 million.

Initially reported as a one-year contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle report Lynch is getting a two-year deal.

The 31-year-old Lynch retired from the NFL during Super Bowl 50 after a 10-year career capped by a superstar turn with the Seahawks. He helped Seattle capture Super Bowl XLVIII and returned to the title game the next season, only to be denied late in the fourth quarter.

The Raiders hope Lynch will be the final piece of a championship puzzle.
