I want him back. Not for top 8 money, but top 15 money I would pay.
I see both sides. Lacy is the best RB, hands down, since Ahman Green. Not as good as Ahman Green, but the best since Green. So I get what you're saying. But then again, the dude was in a contract year and he still couldn't keep the weight off, and likely there is a connection between his extra weight and his stream of injuries. Do you really want to give a guy like that a multi-year contract, or let him suck up a big chunk of your sal cap? It would be a gamble. But it could be worth taking. Depends on whether you as coach and as GM really believe the guy is maturing and is capable of changing - soon.
