INDIANAPOLIS -- The easiest way -- and perhaps the only way -- for Eddie Lacy to return to the Green Bay Packers is on a short-term deal.
And it sounds like that would be amenable to Lacy's camp.
His agent, Pat Dye Jr., said Wednesday that he will meet with the Packers this week at the NFL scouting combine but wasn't sure whether a deal would get done before free agency starts next week. Until Tuesday, the Packers have exclusive negotiating rights with their own free agents. After that, pending free agents can talk with other teams but can't sign until Thursday at 4 p.
