    Waived/injured him.

    Might be an IR stash for this year but I'd consider claiming him [if my/a team needed a RB[/size].

    Turns 26 in December.

    Rolle will probably receive more interests due to his much higher ceiling at CB, but I hope they don't get rid of the guy just to make a spot for James.

    Didn't see it listed.

    Like I expected, Love the kid and his maturity, has shown potential, needs time to grow on a practice squad.

    I read that as they are shopping both of them and neither are "safe" but I could be wrong.

    Possible, But I think they're looking to move only 1, considering they've been carrying 6 CBs for years now. I don't think that will change, especially so with Jjo getting up there in age.

    That's how I read it. Shopping both but only moving one. Whoever they get the best offer (or any offer) for is the guy that goes. Texans must feel that the two are close enough that either guy + a pick is worth more than the other. If a deal gets done, that's good news for James. It means he has a job, either here or elsewhere.

    ****, I trade James or Rolle for Jonas Gray. NE is cutting the guy, probably butting heads with Belichick. He'd be our best RB on the roster until Foster returns to health.

    Or Not ^

    West was very good last year. Browns have depth at RB, West was wanting the #1 spot, but they don't see it like that. Want more of a RB by committee thing. He would probably be our best back behind Foster.

    Texans are going to get a RB.

    I would let Grimes etc go and grab a talented back that is more proven.

    Someone needs corners and we have a bunch of good ones.

    Heck, I don't mind it either with all the passing the league does these days.

    Saw that as well. Makes a lot of sense. He's no better than the 6th/7th receiver on this team, and they're probably only carrying 5. Get something in return for him.
