Lacy to Seahawks

[Tony Oday]

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.

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.

[George Cumby]

Yawn.

Seattle is hoping Pete Carroll can get inside Lacy's head and motivate him.

Good luck with that.

Nice kid but didn't really hold up his end of the deal here.

I suspect the legal herb and all the good eats up there, plus lots of rain will keep Chronic Eddie indoors, smoking up, playing Halo and getting very, very large.

Ted has flexibility in this draft, he will draft a young running back who is hungry.

[VegasPackFan]

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.
Good riddance, Ed.

$3MM Guaranteed.

[pbmax]

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.

I like the kid but I would buy this. He was back to near his 2015 weight during the 2016 season while being in better shape.

I don't think he has been below 245 as a pro, I think the 234 was combine workout produced to get drafted. Sabam said to get him to focus you had to take football away.

Is kinda terrible.

Be still my beating heart! There is a football God after all!

I don't dislike Lacy personally, I just am sick of the Fat Eddie story. Goodbye, sweet prince.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

It would have bothered me a lot more if we had signed Lacy than letting him go. I like it a lot more with Montgomery at RB. Given the same holes, he'll get us a lot more yards. I haven't heard anything at all in the last few weeks about Christine Michael, who I (and apparently only I) have a high opinion of. Going into the season with Montgomery, Michael, Ripkowski (who IMO runs as good as Lacy), and maybe Crockett would suit me just fine.

Michael doesn't have a prayer of making the roster next season. I've seen french toast sticks with more IQ than that guy.

[Bretsky]

No surprise; use the money on defense

[KYPack]

$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.

I didn't know Michael was still on the roster, I actually have high hopes for him. The only way Montgomery will suffice as a fulltime back is if stubby continues his aversion to the run.

[Pugger]

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

Eddie has been hungry for th last 20 years

I guess the last time we can use this one:

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...

Jason La Canfora‏ @JasonLaCanfora 4m4 minutes ago
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.
