I think he was forced to play with injury because of few options behind him partly, and partly because the staff KNEW he couldn't be given time off to get fatter.  It was a "prove it" moment for him and one i'm glad they made him go thru. Maybe Eddie learns something from it and the Seahawks benefit from it.  Or maybe he uses all this public ringer stuff to get down to 240 again only to gain 30lb's in training camp again.  Or maybe it sticks, or maybe he just doesn't care. Whatever the outcome, i'm completely comfortable with Elliot Wolf, Ted Thompson, MM, or anybody else that would have made the decision that the Packers weren't going to invest a lot of money in him.</blockquote>
