​Free agency can be a sad time for fans, as many of their favorite players leave for different pastures.





It was no different in Green Bay this year, as Eddie Lacy ​departed from the team after spending four years there. Lacy didn't always play up to his potential, and had some struggles with weight, but was generally loved by Packers fans for his tough running style.

​

​Lacy, unlike many athletes, isn't getting out of Dodge as fast as possible. He's giving a little something (or somethings) back to the Cheeseheads of Wisconsin.

​​Lacy announced he would be holding a garage sale, where all proceeds go to charity, this weekend near Green Bay. Lacy, ​who signed with the Seahawks this past offseason, is packing up and moving west. But he wanted to leave some mementos for the community, too.





This is a commendable decision by Lacy, who was supposed to hold the event last month, but pushed it back.





He gives back to the Packers community, and will raise a good amount of money for charity. He wasn't just gonna let anyone show up, though; he wanted potential buyers to work for it, and refused to disclose the location of the sale until the morning of.

Ayyyye, it's charity garage sale day. Come early for the big stuff, it may go quick. pic.twitter.com/O65kwct4P7 — Eddie Lacy (@Lil_Eazy_Ana_42) May 5, 2017

Lacy surely kept all the really good stuff, but an NFL player's trash is another man's livelihood, so there ought to be some quality goods.





He clearly holds no ill will towards his time in Wisconsin. Not towards the fans, anyway.

​​Man, that looks like some good stuff.





This is a great idea that more NFL players should undertake. Great cause, easy way to get rid of all that stuff that millionaires buy and then never use. What's not to like?





If you're reading this, it's probably too late to pick up anything from Lacy's sale today unless you're not working. But, fortunately, it's a two-day sale!





All you Wisconsin Packers fans, get out there on Saturday morning!
