The Facts: According to Field Yates of ESPN.com, Lacy's first scheduled weigh-in with the Seahawks is today, and he stands to make $55,000 if he weighs 255 pounds or less.
Diehards Line:
As PFT reminded readers, this is the first in a series of seven weight clauses in Lacy’s contract, and he can make more money by hitting prescribed targets in June, and then August through the end of the regular season. The good news? He gets to taper, as he needs to be 250 in June and then 245 from August. It doesn’t seem like an unreasonable goal for an athlete, and this may be self-inflicted, but that doesn’t make it any less voyeuristic. Meanwhile, Lacy has been using his social media to promote a workout program with Beach Body, so it appears he'll be working with P90X guru Tony Horton again in the coming months. ... Stay tuned. We'll undoubtedly learn if Lacy is $55,000 richer later today.
