Eddie Lacy: Packers have been 'very vocal about having me back'

Assuming reasonable contract, do you want to see Eddie Lacy back with the Packers?

Eddie Lacy isn’t closing the door on a return to the Green Bay Packers.

And it doesn’t sound like the Packers are, either.

“Talking to my agent, the Packers have been very vocal about having me back there,” Lacy said in an interview on Adam Schefter’s "Know Them From Adam" podcast that will be available on Tuesday.

Lacy, who is coming off ankle surgery that limited him to just five games last season, will be an unrestricted free agent if he doesn’t re-sign with the Packers before March 9.

“I’m trying not to think about all of that right now,” Lacy said. “I’m just trying to make sure whether I end up in Green Bay or somewhere, I’m in the best shape or I’m in the best position I can be in personally, so when it’s time for me to contribute to whatever team that it is that they’re getting 100 percent of me.”

I guess having him back will depend on the market. I would offer him a 1 year deal for around $2M with some incentives. Chances are he will want more guarantee so we will have to wait to see what other teams will offer him.

I really liked what I saw from Monty at RB. I just don't know if I want him running the ball 20+ times a game.

As always if the deal isn't out of line 3 years seems to be reasonable. I doubt they would get him for fewer years than that.

I believe in Eddie and want him back! He played well in his limited time this season. The grit he showed in his final game of the season was incredible!

I hope they bring him back on a 2-3 year deal for a few million a year. That would be a bargain. But I think it's more likely for a one year deal at about that price tag.

Edit because I can't spell

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

I took Lacy's words, used google to translate them to Korean and back to English. Here is what Lacy actually said:

"Ted said, "2M x1 with incentives, take it or leave it and once we sign another RB, the offer's coming off the table." So my agent told me to go on the radio and "leak fake news" that GB really wants me back to try to generate more interest from other teams."

I like him....if the price is right. His past injury problems would keep me from offering him big time money.

He played hurt and was lost for the season as a result. What does it look like to potential free agents when we can't keep guys healthy for onr thing, and for another we let them play hurt and become seriously injured? It's a damn joke.

Would YOU want to play here? Maybe for an extra couple mil. It's a cultural Siberia for non whites too.

Yes, there isn't the "big party" things like the big cities have, but if that is why you take an NFL job, maybe you don't want that guy on your team anyway. You want dedicated football people. Just my opinion of course.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Lol everybodys mad at Lacy because of how he looked. He actually ran really well last year and he plays his ass off even when he's banged up. I'm not going to pay a premium for him but if the price is good there's no reason not to want him back.

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
