Eddie is too fat to thrive in the NFL, that's a fact jack. Sammy has had too many concussions. The Packers 2016 are toast.
I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, watch the Dallas-Lions game. Life goes on.
I don't think so. Lacy had his 2nd chance.
HOFer
he's, the team told him to lose a lot of weight, and we got that one sideline report during an earlier game that said, despite what was being said publicly about the huge weight loss, he had actually only lost 5 or 10 pounds.
and as PFT reported in october, whatever he did lose, he had put it all back on and he was back between 255 and 265
a far cry from the 230-235 that the team wanted him to be at this year
they gave him his second chance, and failed. plus at that weight, theys no guarantee that he could have kept up the early season success for a whole season
and now that he's been on IR, he could be in the 270-280 range, or higher
maybe he can play o-line, or NT
If they could get him cheap to be a second option at RB, why not?
We don't know that he could have kept up his early season performance, but we also don't know that he couldn't have, either.
Several said he might not have been much smaller, but he clearly was in better condition.
I don't recall anyone on the team publicly declaring what weight they wanted Lacy to report at last summer.
His second chance? How and when? He was still on his rookie contract. They might get him for a year or two relatively cheap. That shouldn't prevent them looking for someone new, but Lacy could be a nice complement, if healthy.

after is fat ass could barely run at the end of last season the team demanded that he lose a ton of weight
maybe it wasn't exactly a second chance, but it was an ultimatum. his old coach saban even told M3 to bench him to force him to lose weight“I think I’m stating the obvious,” coach Mike McCarthy said last month. “His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. I had a chance to talk to Eddie today and that was pretty much the majority of our whole conversation. So he has to get it done because he cannot play at the weight that he played at this year.”
and eddy failed pretty badly
This is the way their season ends

Lacy could be a fullback. if so he'd be the best fullback the Packers have had in many years. he wouldn't be waste of space like most. he could be an actual weapon at that position. if he gets no bites from other clubs give him a shot.
I love it. Bring back the old Pro Set and Single Wing. Hornung and Taylor all over again.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

actually, not a bad idea
even fullbacks don't have a beer belly.

Lacy will be back.

If you did resign Lacy on the cheap, who would you prefer to pair with him in the backfield, Fournette or McCaffery?
Now what y'all know about dem Texas boys
Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise!!!

Lacy is gone. I'm sorry, but it is illogical to assume that every other NFL is going to pass on the guy and leave him in the scrap heap. If James Starks can get paid $2M a year, then you damn well know that Lacy will command twice that from somebody...even with all his "issues". Green Bay isn't going that high with him.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
$4 million would probably be the low end for Lacy. I also doubt they pay to keep him. That doesn't bother me much. They could lose Starks too, and it wouldn't hurt. I like Montgomery as a RB. I would like to see us draft a RB but not in the first round. It shouldn't be that difficult to find somebody with speed and power. A lot of other teams have done it.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Time to get these predictions on the record. Lacy will be a Packer in 2017.
Poll to come.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Who in the hell is worshiping Eddie Lacy?? All I said was I don't remember anybody on the Packers saying PUBLICLY they want Eddie to lose X number of pounds. MM said Eddie couldn't play at the weight he was in 2015 and Eddie came back in shape this past summer and was playing great until that ankle injury. Eddie isn't gonna demand big money on the open market so why not sign him to a "prove it" contract in 2017?
