Seahawks GM John Schneider likes incentive clauses, thinks Eddie Lacy can again give Seattle a power running game

While offensive lineman Luke Joeckel stands as Seattle’s highest-priced free agent signee of 2017 with a one-year deal worth up to $8 million, two-time 1,000-yard rushing running back Eddie Lacy may be the biggest name.

The Seahawks, though, took some steps to try to assure Lacy wouldn’t get too big, inserting incentives into his contract if he reaches certain weight limits in the off-season and the regular season.

Specifically, Lacy can earn an additional $385,000 as part of a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million if he meets every incentive, with $2.865 million guaranteed.
