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 (33m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (34m) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

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

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (1h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (15h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
