When the Seattle Seahawks signed former Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy to a one-year, incentive-laden contract Tuesday, the move was met with widespread derision on social media for one obvious reason: Lacy, through his NFL career, has been unable to keep his weight consistently down to an optimal level.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy had fined Lacy on more than one occasion for not making weight, according to a February USA Today report by Pete Dougherty, though McCarthy said in January that he’d love to see Lacy re-sign with the team.
