Eddie Lacy is joining the Seahawks, but he'll do so with a bigger gut than last season.

The former Packers running back reportedly has put on more than 30 pounds from the start of last season, coming in at 267.

Lacy's weight became a focal point last offseason when photos of him looking slimmer kept popping up online. The weight loss was a concerted effort by the running back after Packers coach Mike McCarthy made public comments about Lacy needing to trim down.

Lacy played well under his new weight, averaging 5.1 yards per carry in the five games he started at the beginning of the season before landing on injured reserve. A 267-pound playing weight could hurt him in his recovery from that ankle injury, considering all the weight he's putting on his feet.

The Seahawks know about Lacy's weight and could make a similar demand as McCarthy did a year ago. McCarthy actually went as far as to fine Lacy for his weight multiple times, according to a report last month from PackersNews.

Lacy is never going to slim down to the point where he's small, but getting down to around 240 would probably be ideal.

UPDATE: Coach Pete Carroll was asked about Lacy's weight shortly after the team signed him and while he said he "wants him big," he did want the back to get a little lighter.
