Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount is the latest NFL player to see some serious weight-based incentives.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the bruising rusher could make $50,000 if the scale reads between 240 and 245 pounds when he reports for training camp. Seattle Seahawks running back Eddie Lacy and Atlanta Falcons nose tackle Dontari Poe received deals for similar bonuses.

The 30-year-old Blount, who racked up a league-leading 18 rushing touchdowns with the New England Patriots last season, is listed at 250 pounds.

According to Pro Football Talk’s Josh Alper, Philadelphia's first full-team practice is scheduled for July 27.
