    Ricky Jean Francois is on the streets.

    Why do cut players hang out on the street?

    Watching Alex Green right now running for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats against the BC Lions. 4 carries, 35 yards, average 8.8.

    Wow. 6 months ago Ricky Jean Francois signed a $3M, 1 year contract with Packers. Now look at him.


    (nah, wikipedia is wrong, it wasn't $3M. It was $1.6M. And I suppose he only got to keep the $250K signing bonus. He did get a $3M signing bonus in 2015 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay...cash-earnings/)

    I think this is the same guy that was the Green Bay third round pick in 2011. Good with some space to run. Might do OK in the CFL.

    He was DeJuan Harris a year or two before actual DeJuan Harris. Got hurt and put on IR I think.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I hear he is a decent second down back there

    Or maybe he is a fifth down back in a four down game. Sad.

    Green played in a spread offense at Hawaii. TT made the gamble, based partly on Green's performance at The Senior Bowl, that he could make the adjustment to a pro-style offense. Nope.

    I remember now, the Hawaii guy. Unimpressive, but maybe didn't get time.

    So did he (Green) sit out of football for over 3 years and then just up and decide the CFL sounds good? Odd, does the CFL pay anything close to the NFL?

    Not sure what he has been doing in the meantime but that was his first game since being cut by the Packers in 2013. Doesn't look like he was in a training camp, or Canada, or anywhere since.

    EDIT: Looks like he was with the Jets in 2013 and camp in 2014 but hasn't been in a game since 2013.

    You can take the player out of Green Bay but you can never take Green Bay out of the player!

    Lions signing DE Datone Jones for defensive line depth

    9:53 AM ET ... 10/10/2017

    Michael Rothstein ...ESPN Staff Writer

    and:

    http://rotoworld.com/log/nfl/8426/datone-jones

    " A first-round pick of the Packers in 2013, Jones spent the offseason with the Vikings, so he just needs a stint with the Bears to complete his NFC North bingo card.

    Minnesota released Jones with an injury settlement because of a shoulder issue, but he is apparently healthy now. He should help out as a situational rusher for Detroit. " Oct 10 - 9:05 AM
