Nothing beats the feeling of losing weight and getting paid.
When Eddie Lacy signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks on March 14, the deal came with an incentive. After weight issues limited his production in 2015 and 2016 at Green Bay, Seahawks’ coach Pete Carroll demands that Lacy meets all seven weigh-in requirements from May to December in order to pocket $55,000 each.
He hit the target goal for May (255) and June (250), and his success continued on Monday as Lacy remains at 250 pounds – collecting another $55K via ESPN.
