I hope the contract has a weight clause. As it is, he has to lose 30 or more lbs.
I'm considerably less excited if this is true. I'm with you on the weight clause.
Perhaps this explains the interest in Charles?

I too am "cautiously" optimistic. I have seen his effectiveness running behind the Packer's line. I also remember him getting hurt and missing games so I was hoping he was healthy and then I read in here that he weighed in at 267 LBS. The only ONE RB that could rush effectively at a weight around 245-60 and that was Cristian Okoye, the "Nigerian Nightmare".

I like the fact that it's a one year prove it deal and like Joeckel he has a high ceiling, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up. This is not the Eddie Lacy that scored 20 TD's in his first two seasons.

Thunder and lightning are a frequent occurrence in rainy Seattle. This year, they may be a frequent one on Century Link Field.

Old but Slow wrote:This seems like a great signing, and if Lacy has the 'want it' this season he could be a real surprise. Our young offensive line does not lack for size, athleticism, or desire, they are just young. With a years experience they will be better. How much better? We will see, but there is at least a glimmer of a return to a strong running game, and that, my friends, can do the trick.
