Thread: Will Eddie Lacy Be On Packer Roster in 2017?

    Will Eddie Lacy Be On Packer Roster in 2017?

    Will he be resigned by the Packers or another team in the 2017 offseason?

    Can't get motivated in a contract year...bye.

    He won't be back with Green Bay. This is not because I feel that Lacy is not a starting caliber RB, but rather due to the fact that Thompson is way too cheap. Lacy will be snapped up by another team before the price is reduced enough to merit Thompson's attention. I don't know the answer to this, but I would like to find out how many guys have reached free agency after their rookie deal on Thompson's watch...and wound up resigning with the Packers. My guess is that number is very small, and I can't see Lacy making his way onto that list.

    Yeah, averaging over 5 yards a carry isn't good enough and then he had the audacity to get hurt.

    Of course his injury history might make other GMs pause before offering him a big contract...

    I'm not saying he should be re-signed or that I want that, but Ted likes to keep his own. Assuming he stays - which unfortunately I think will happen, I think he keeps Lacy and pays more than most of us would expect in doing so.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-this-season/ Well, we now know he won't be back at least for this season. With the desperate need for healthy bodies on defense, the Packers are bringing back Dorleant (I hope he can cover at the back end). I'm sure they would have loved to bring back Shields, which should speak volumes about the cumulative affects of his concussions, and perhaps his longer-term prospects.

    If Lacy is healthy enough but they still decided to designate Dorleant for return, then I think that says something, too. They might feel like they need more help on the back end of the defense in order to help keep the score down, as the offense has started to click, even without Lacy being there. Also, if they get behind in games, which they have done quite a bit this year, Lacy may not be much of a weapon anyway.

    He better be back. I finally bought a Packers jersey 2 years ago and it is #27.

    Lacy isn't a home run hitter but he is Jerome Bettis. He is a great workhorse to have. What we really need is a true 3rd down back to complement Lacy.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I voted "Packers". Lacy will be resigned b/c he reminds GM/HC/Play-caller J-Mac of that roughen Legarrette Blount.

    I vote "I don't give a shit."
    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.

    He showed up overweight again and got hurt again. I liked the way he was running but we can find a back that has three good games anywhere.

    Agreed.

    I think TT should look to the draft. I've taken notice of that sensational kid from Scotland. The guy really hangs tough. His name's Jacque, Jacque Strapp, the All American ball carrier.

    Couldn't let the thread die on a classic post like that HH! I voted Lacy is back on the cheap. Hopefully they pair him up with a McCafferey type. Offense still needs more speed. Monty helps, but we need another burner or two. Cook should help open things up also.

    Would be cool to resign Lacy and draft fournette. Then keep Cook for another year and run 2tes as our base offense and just run, run, run!!

    Bring him back with weight clauses in the contract. All y'all saying "but he averaged five yards a carry" - would you be okay if Aaron Rodgers showed up 40 lbs overweight and played pretty good, when you know he could be so much better 40 lbs lighter?

    Depends on whether he played like Ben or Jared Lorenzen.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
