Despite the excessive proliferation of jokes about Eddie Lacy's weight, it's become clear the Packers really do prefer that their star running back loses some weight. Mike McCarthy said as much following the season.

But the amount of weight is pretty stunning. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Packers want Lacy to lose 30 pounds.

According to Rapoport, Lacy is cool with the request. (He's already getting offers from P90x this offseason to lose weight.)

After a strong finish to 2014, many people projected a huge season for the former Alabama standout. But 2015 was not that -- Lacy rushed for just 758 yards and was benched for James Starks at one point during the season.

What's weird is that Lacy hasn't technically gained weight, according to the Internet.

Lacy weighs 234 pounds per the Packers' website and, per the NFL's combine page, he weighed 231 when he came into the NFL.

>>Justin Tuck Retires

After spending 11 seasons crushing quarterbacks, defensive lineman Justin Tuck is retiring from the NFL. Tuck, who played for the Giants and Raiders, revealed his decision with a Facebook post, writing that he's leaving the game "with very few regrets."

In Tuck's career, he recorded 66.5 sacks and 510 combined tackles. Most importantly, Tuck played an instrumental role in the Giants' past two Super Bowl wins, harassing Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady in both of those games.

But, at the age of 32, he's stepping away. Here's how Tuck explained his decision:

"After months of praying and careful consideration, I have decided to retire from the game of football. I've had 11 great years and honestly I leave with very few regrets."

"It's been like a tug of war, and finally the rope broke," Tuck told Fox Sports, "and where I fell was retirement."
