Good time for a Lacy contract extension?

[Jerellh528]

I hope if he does earn a long term hefty deal with us, it's incentive based with not a ton guaranteed. And hopefully some type of weight clause in it.

Everyone here has spoken to me in absolutes and dismissed every line of what ive said as invalid.

Yet here you are talking in absolutes but twlling me im not allowed to.

Ill speak how i want to, and ill be back after lacy signs a deal well after the season starts to tell each of you were wrong, yet treated me like im an idiot.

Dude has potential to maybe earn top5 rb money, or close to it, hes not going to let last year ruin that. Mark my words.

Will he go to aa, To put the bottle down? What about missing every curfew? It's much deeper than his talent.

He isnt motivated to play. Maybe eddy can turn it around... Maybe he will return to rookie form.. But it will be something the team is going to take a long time to decide..

Before season would be a complete 180 turn they have right now

He isnt motivated to play.

This is the problem with giving him a big 2nd contract.
He doesn't love the game and he made that clear in his rookie year when he was interviewed by Larry McCarran on "Packers Live".

 

[TJV]

Let me know how that works out for you brah.

It works out fine for me, but I'm not the one who whined about how I've been treated after treating others badly.

I'm not sure why Lacy would thumb his nose at a good offer. I pulled out the list of current running back salaries. I'm certainly no salary expert, but would expect that a healthy Lacy coming off of a solid 4th season would probably get a contract in the $7-8 million range from another team. He's definitely not getting AP or Lynch money. If the Packers offered him $5-7 million before the season starts, he and his agent would need to decide if getting the extra $1-2 million is worth the injury gamble.

Thats a swing of $1-2m per year, so upto an $8m difference. Thats hardly insignificant. I would think a young pro athlete as gifted as Lacy would bet on himself in that scenario.

After what happened last season I would be absolutely shocked if the Packers would offer Lacy a deal averaging $5-7 million during this offseason.

Yep. Exactly why there will be no deal made until well into the season.

Last week you said we'd be wise to give him an offer now but that Lacy and his agent would never take it right now, and that's why there will be no deal until well into next season. Which is it?

Thats actually not what i said. Nice try though. I said it sounds like a good idea in theory to ink him now, since it would cost less based off of his performance last year. But its a flawed theory because he and his agent arent going to take an offer theyre going to get now, knowing last season put a big dent in potential earnings.

Youre attempting to put words in my mouth and failing miserably at it. Probably like the rest of your life.

We had a terrible offense with an ineffective lacy.

Price wise, itd be in our interest to ink him now. Like i said, though, i expect a motivated lacy this year and hes not going to take a deal now lnowing he can position himself for more with a good year.

The whole discussion is moot because lacy and his agent simply will not accept a deal right now knowing its going to be a low ball offer.

It. ..doesn't sound like I put any words in your mouth.

Also, you'd be wise not to repeat something like the last sentence from your top post, pretty sure you won't be long for this board if you continue with that level of immaturity.

Out of order. Debate by all means but Don`t get personal.

I also made it clear lacy is not taking any contract right now since last season deflated his value too severely. Which part of this do you not get? These are not mutually exclusive concepts.

I don't think my question was that confusing. You did say Lacy wouldn't take any contract right now because of where his value is at, and said that it would be in the Packers best interests to sign him now, but not Lacy's. Then when Captain said that he would be shocked if the Packers offered him a $5-7M dollar contract this offseason, you agreed and said that was exactly why there wouldn't be a deal until well into next season.

I simply asked you to clarify what your stance was since I thought it was obvious why those two viewpoints were somewhat conflicting. Since you're clearly not going to address that, it's probably best to let it die.

And while it's fine to have an opinion; everyone here has one, you continue to present yours as fact and become hostile when asked to clarify anything, points already mentioned by myself and others multiple times.

 

[jrock645]

Fact or not- in your view- Im right, and you just dont care to admit it.

 

[adambr2]

Im right,

you continue to present yours as fact

I rest my case.

You never know for sure with photos, but it looks like Eddie has taken this last season as a wakeup call. I fully expect a great season out of him.

 

[jrock645]

Wow! This is wonderful news! Now go sit in the shower and cry while you chomp on some beef stroganoff, and leave me alone.

So what rule am i violating by encouraging one to enjoy the distinct opportunity to savor some delicious beef stroganoff in the comfort and privacy of their bath tub, while releasing all stress and pressure? If anything, i believe i should be commended for being so thoughtful.

Now you will sit in the corner

How many players have shown up 30 lbs. overweight? You have to go on each player's individual track record.

Did you miss Lacy struggling for most of the 2015 season because he was completely out of shape??? No way the Packers should offer him that kind of money.
