With McCarthy's recent endorsement of Harris (probably some Lacy motivational ploy in there too) and the recent chatter that Alex Green is being shopped....1. Is there anything to see here with these two. 2. Which one gets traded/cut if any / or both? 3. Where is an ideal RB spot open for one of these guys?
A lot of camp reports said Green looked like he had his pre-injury burst back and looked back/good. He started camp running with the first team reps while the rookies ramped up. Even got 1st team reps later on into camp. It's fluctuated in and out, but his camp seemed like it went pretty good and most important he was healthy (meaning he wasn't fully healthy in '12). Same can be said for Starks, although he never seemed as talented as Green could be. Both could be brought initially as a backup and maybe earn role player reps for a weak RB team, then take over if injuries hit into the season. I'd probably be more interested in Green than Starks based on history and past situations though.
Pure speculation, but possible landing spots if traded:
Jets - no explanation needed. Seems like it would be a fit. Ivory/Green/Powell/Spann. Just brought on Kahlil Bell, so they know they have problems and are searching for a stop gap.
AZ - Mendy and Williams have knee issues going on. Green not a bad insurance. 2 rooks and journeymen after that.
Jax - Forsett still gimpy, MJD duct taped together - high mileage
Indi- Bradshaw coming along slow and big injury history
SD - very weak RB corps here
