Robinson is one of Lynch's closest friends and has been advising him on his contract concerns.

Sources also confirmed Lynch's plan to ESPN.com.

Lynch wants his contract renegotiated with more money up front this season. He is starting the third year of a four-year deal that pays him $30 million. Lynch has a base salary of $5 million this season and $5.5 million in 2015, but he will count $7 million against the salary cap this year and $9 million next year.
