The Facts: Lacy is a free agent this offseason, and while you never know about these things, he'll probably have limited value on the NFL's open market. Teams are aware of his weight problems, and he's coming off an ankle injury that required surgery and ended his 2016 season after five games. So there's a good chance Lacy will have to sign a one-year deal to prove to the league his ankle is fine and he can get, and keep, the weight off.

Diehards Line:Press Gazette staffer Pete Dougherty contacted an agent who has studied the running back market because of a client hitting free agency, and he guessed that Lacy will get a deal worth about $2 million plus plenty of incentives -- a price that would be low risk for the Packers. Dougherty went on to note that Lacy's running stats were good until he got hurt (5.1-yard average per carry) and there's no questioning that he ran hard. But he wasn’t as explosive as when he was clearly lighter. The extra weight is no help when it comes to injuries, either. The Packers have a strong support system for him: four strength and conditioning coaches plus a full-time nutritionist, Adam Korzun, who earns endless public praise from HC Mike McCarthy for his work. The resources are there. Whatever the case, the Packers certainly have to go in with eyes wide open. Last year, they didn’t hedge against Lacy having any problems, and it cost them.
