Back in March, it was revealed that as a part of Eddie Lacy’s new contract with the Seattle Seahawks, he was given incentives to meet weight restrictions. A couple weeks ago, Lacy met his first weigh-in restriction of being at no more than 255 pounds in May – with two pounds to spare.

If Lacy’s weight is within the limit in all seven of his weigh-ins, he’ll receive a total of $385,000 in incentive pay. His weight limit for September, October, November and December is 245 pounds. Many believe that in 2015 or 2016 Lacy exceeded that amount by 10 to 20 pounds.
