1. The franchise tag was a mistake.
2. He’s still injured from last year’s training camp.  It’s so obvious everyone can see it.
3. Playing him at less than 100% isn’t smart.
4. It’s ridiculous to expect him to play like his old self given (2) and (3).
5. He needs to sit.

It was painful to type that.

While I agree with a lot of your points here, I am  not allowing the injury card just yet.  If he was injured, he shouldn't have been signed.  

The fact remains that guys like Green and Dunlap are just holdovers from the old guard.  Maybe they don't like the new guard.  Whatever it is, they clearly don't want to be here or at the very least, they don't seem to have much interest in playing football.  

Move on from Green, Ross, Dunlap, Williams and go for youth with talent.  If they want to sign a veteran, aim for a Guard.  The rest should be drafted and developed.
