Will Eddie Lacy Be On Packer Roster in 2017?

Is the Eddie Lacy question still unsettled?

People used to talk about lacy getting top5 money. I always felt like he wasn't worth it because ill never be able to trust him to stay in shape.

But now we're looking at a smallish deal. 1 year, 4mil or something. Eddie has high upside. He's a powerful guy. I'd like to have him to finish games. I think he's kind of a cool piece. I'd like to see Monty and him split the load. Michael is too erratic for me. Worries me how jittery he is, like he could fuck up big at any moment.

It's odd how I watch these other teams have success with being deep at RB. The Patriots must not know what they are doing with all their depth at RB, nor the Cowboys, or Giants...

*Yawn* Not trying to be nit picky here but the Packers had Ripkowski and Montgomery on the roster at the beginning of the season. Is that not depth by the definition? Or is depth only players you have heard of before? Lacy and Starks go down, and the two other players step up from the roster? That sounds like depth to me. You might not have known who Monty was, I might not have known who Monty was, but TT and MM can't get any credit for knowing who Monty is? Had he not been hurt last year, we both might have a better understanding of what TT and MM already had. I'm much more inclined to give credence to negative posters if they aren't ALWAYS negative. Lets face it, you don't make the playoffs 8 straight years by having trash lead the organization. Mix in a positive post now and again and your opinions start to be more than mere entertainment.

Green Bay's offense this year looks very Patriotesque, at least in the past 6 games. Controlling games with short passes. Monty is part of the reason why.

He is, but that part of the game is more infrequent than it should be. Packers spent entire first half with the drop back and see what develops offense.

Cook and Monty much more involved later.

I don't think TT sees 4M as smallish. If they think they can get similar production out of a 1M back, they'll do the swap. I agree that Lacy would be good to have on the roster as a spare tire (pun intended.) But he wants to be featured back, of course.
