Well this isn't good. One more injury holding Starks back in his short career.

Hell Ted might end up having to sign both Benson and Grant just to have a solid 1-2 punch.

Packers | James Starks dealing with toe injury

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said RB James Starks (toe) is considered week-to-week with turf toe.

Interesting tweet from jason wilde:

If Starks, Green, Saine are OK soon, they can cut Benson at end of camp if they want. I am told Thompson doesn't want to do that to Grant.

I was pretty high on James Starks in 2010, but injury after injury (or so it seems anyhow) I wouldn't mind severing ties with him after this season.

Interesting they haven't signed him yet.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I really don't know if I want him in GB or not, but I also hope the hold up isn't over 2 years as some have noted. If the Packers feel good enough about him to bring him in, don't let an extra year at basically the vets min be the hold up to potentially upgrading the position.

Packers.com says he's signed. - link Good thing #32 is taken already, since the Packers lack good fortunate with RB's wearing #32.

zero wins the race to notify the board of the transaction. cheeseheads123 would have if he would have put a link with it. I guess zero is saving space because he didn't like musccy post of just a link only. plus it gets rid of his competition.

If I wanted to notify the board, I'd shoot off a mass email to everyone. I simply posted a blurb with a link to the source. 🙂

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
