Would Eddie Lacy Be Worth a Gamble?

In breezing over the potential FAs over at spotrac, Eddie Lacy's name jumped out on the list of RBs.

He will turn 27 this summer, but when healthy/in shape, is the kind of RB that Carolina prefers. Prior to this past season, he's played a full season and two 15-game seasons, and he's amassed 1100+ yards per season, twice in the past 5 years. I know he looks like the Pilsbury dough boy in the offseason, but he did show up pretty svelte for his standards last year before getting injured.  

If we don't draft Fournette, Cook or Foreman, or decide to wait on RB until later in the draft, could Lacy be a good fit beside Cam in this offense?

Weight has been a real issue the past few seasons. He slimmed down quickly this past offseason but then gained a lot of it back throughout 2016. Ended the year not much lighter, if at all, than in 2015. 

I'm going to lean no on this. He's decent when skinny, but he's eating himself out of a job. Couple that with Krispy Kreme, Bojangles, Cook Out, and other fast food available in the south, I don't see him staying slim.

Nah, I'm good. We already have Tolbert and we don't even want him.

The answer should be based on whether Stewart is here or not. If JStew is cut loose after failure to renegotiate a new contract, than Lacy may possibly fit as a stop gap. Nobody will sign him to more than a 1 year prove it contract. If JStew is still here we need to get a legit speed back to back him up. The offense needs speed, both at WR and RB, and Lacy does not bring that lol. A guy like Gio Bernard would compliment Stewart very well..

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
