Will Eddie Lacy Be On Packer Roster in 2017?

[BZnDallas]

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.

[RashanGary]

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!!

I donno !

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.

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.

Except he's not a workhorse. He's overweight and on IR. And before the injury,he was only averaging 14 carries a game. There's probably a decent chance the weight had something to do with the injury.

If he couldn't keep the weight off in a contract year, will a weight clause matter? Sure with a weight clause you might not have to pay him much if he's overweight, but do you want to use a roster spot on him?

We got it Joe.

[RashanGary]

What's wrong with him? Couldn't he come back this year still?

MM has said he won't be back this year. Nor Shields. They've designated Dorleant for return.

We've seen what Lacy can do when he's at the top of his game and fitness. What worries me is he could have had a monster pay day after this season. How did he respond?

[ThunderDan]

Lacy will be back next year. We literally have nothing in the RB position. If you get rid of Lacy you have to train every RB that will be on the team next year except Ripkowski.

I expect a 1 year prove it deal for Lacy.

[Joemailman]

It will depend on market value. If some team wants to pay lacy top-5 money, I don't think TT will match. This will be a B.J. Raji type situation.

i agree. if they let him go they'll have to waste a draft pick on a rb when we have MUCH BIGGER NEEDS! that or tt (if he's still here) will do another sign-the-guy-at-the-bottom-of-the-list FA move. he was having a good year until he got hurt.

Well, we figuratively have nothing in the RB position now. But you're probably right. Hard to imagine Starks coming back, or Michael making enough progress to warrant a re-signing. But we'll see.
