Mixed feelings on this. Since I hate the Seahags immensely, I'm now hoping he spends his $5.5MM on food. Lots of food.
Lol, that's a lot money for him, even if it is for only one year. But then again, the contract is probably all incentive laden.Originally Posted by VegasPackFan
Good riddance, Ed.

$3MM Guaranteed.
They said one year 5.5 mil on ESPN.
A one year deal is pretty much guaranteed.
Maybe he had to come into camp under 300 lbs.
Lacy reported to have celebrated the contract signing at Golden Corral.
As amazing as it is to admit, sometimes red is right despite the condition of his liver. There is always the possibility of funny money. This isn't a slam dunk as the guaranteed number doesn't necessarily include those not likely to be earned incentives, but you never know.

SEA deal w/Eddie Lacy includes $385K in weight bonuses, $1M tied to weekly roster bonuses and $1.3M in not likely to be earned incentives...

The Seahawks are more than protected in the deal, which at its base is a $1.5M signing bonus and a $1.365M guaranteed 2017 base salary
The details aren't on spotrac.com yet. Someone yesterday said the deals between the 3 teams were similar, wonder if Eddie got taken for a ride by his agent and that high top line number.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I have opened a candy shop in the greater Seattle Metro area.
Next door to a legal weed shop?
Seems like a good dude. I wish him well when we're not playing him. Between his weight issues, ankle, and whatever Seattle was willing to pay him, it just wasn't going to work out to stay. If the Packers really considered him a core player, they would have worked harder to keep him. MM said he was a core player at the combine or thereabouts, but ultimately, the guaranteed money has to fit the team's plans. You'd love to re-sign most of them, but just can't.
So, Adrian Peterson on a two-year deal? Draft a decent RB and let him learn from Peterson?

A rookie RB draft pick will learn from AP how not to pick up a blitz or catch a pass out of the backfield. :-p

I knew he was going to be more expensive than most people on this board would admit, and that the chances of his return were slim to none. I don't think Lacy is a major loss, but I don't like seeing him go to one of Green Bay's major competitors.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

Source said #Packers and #Vikings offered Lacy similar contracts. Chance to be in a run-first offense might have been deciding factor.

Well that sucks
No idea if this is true or not...
RB Eddie Lacy visited Sea (his new team), Minn and GB in the last wk. For one of the three teams Lacy weighed 267. Listed last year at 234.

You know, that's really fucking shitty.
Which team could have leaked that? Doubt it was his new team. That leaves two choices. Was it a Queens reported that was told this?
Nope. It's was green bay that leaked this. They're trying to cover their ass.
After two years of no one talking about his exact weight, the teM the offered him most the second exact money (despite his weight I guess) decides to announce to the whole world that yes, he is a big fat fuck.
Classless by green bay imo
Classless by this fat ass taking money and never making weight.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
I have to agree with this. The Packers did everything they could to get Lacy to a manageable weight at which he could be productive. After all that, I'm not surprised they didn't sign him.
no self discipline. that's all it is. he could have been great...maybe.
Is kinda terrible.
