5 free agent running backs who could interest Philadelphia Eagles
By Ryan Quigley
Eddie Lacy
Despite having his season cut short by an ankle injury, Lacy will be a highly sought-after player in free agency.
In four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Lacy tallied 3,435 yards and 23 touchdowns with an average of 4.4 yards per attempt. He was also a threat as a receiver, recording 101 receptions for 900 yards and six touchdowns.
Lacy has quickly become one of the league’s top downhill runners, but also has some shiftiness in his game. At 234 pounds, Lacy had the league’s highest Elusive Rating through Week 6, according to Pro Football Focus. Running backs ranked behind Lacy include David Johnson, Le’Veon Bell, Jay Ajayi and Latavius Murray.
Lacy’s season-ending ankle injury could bring down his price tag. If the Eagles have enough money to afford his services, they could be in the running to land him this offseason.
