The Facts: For the fourth straight year, the Packers will head into the season with the usual 1-2 punch at running back in Lacy and James Starks, but there's very little certainty at the position beyond them, and beyond now. Lacy is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and while all indications are he's getting himself in much better shape after a sluggish 2015, there are no guarantees he remains with the Packers beyond this season.
Diehards Line:
As Packers.com's Mike Spofford noted, ideally, Lacy returns to the 1,100-yard rushing form he showed in his first two NFL seasons and puts himself in position for a worthwhile second pro contract. Whether or not that prompts a re-signing with Green Bay, though, is a discussion for another day. With a lot of factors at play, Spofford believes that’ll be the big wait-and-see for 2017.
