There’s more of Eddie Lacy to love and although the Seahawks say they’re not sweating it, they have given their newly-acquired running back some incentive to keep the extra pounds off off. Lacy’s one-year deal with the Seahawks includes a $385K bonus tied to his weight, Tom Pelissero of USA Today tweets. All in all, his one-year deal calls for $2.865MM guaranteed, but he can raise that to $5.55MM through the weight bonus and other incentives.
Lacy reportedly weighed in at 267 pounds on one of his free agent visits this year and that’s a bit concerning for a running back. Last year, Lacy was listed at 234 pounds. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll chalked Lacy’s weight up to his ankle injury from last season and said that he expects Lacy to slim down once he’s back to 100%.
Still, Lacy was struggling with his weight before his injury last fall and the Seahawks are going to be mindful of his size. On top of his one-year, prove-it deal, Lacy has additional motivation to stay in shape.

I asked my boss today if I stop eating donuts if I could have a $.50 raise and he told me to get the hell out of his office
Funny LMAO
He didn’t ASK for it, they offered. bug difference there un-funny guy.
Incredible.
It’s water weight…the scale was askew…he just had a quadruple mocha whole milk frappuccino from Starbucks…everyone knows u weigh more in Great Northwest cause the gravity is denser there, the fog thing…LOCUST! It’s not his fault! Just lil extra medium…u go boy! N put the donut down!
I have no feeling for Lacy either way but your comments are not funny. Calling him a N is not appropriate. Just because AI on golden state uses it does not mean you can. Especially in a public forum.
I took it as an abbreviation for and but re reading it you could definitely be right
A thousand pardons 4 my shorthand fellas….N was n is my quick “And.” Holy cow u guys r lookin 4 trouble…
Hey, hey, hey! Shrewd move, just got an immovable run stuffin nose tackle 4 runnin back money!

Lacy didn’t get fat because he hurt his ankle, he hurt his ankle because he was FAT!
