NFL Free Agency: Should Giants have interest in RB James Starks?

NFL teams have begun cutting players to gain salary cap space, and an interesting name that hit the wires on Tuesday was now-former Green Bay Packers running back James Starks.

Starks, of course, has familiarity with Giants coach Ben McAdoo from their time together with the Packers. He is a 30-year-old seven-year veteran who has never been a star, or even a starter, but he was always a useful back for Green Bay as both a runner and a receiver.

In seven season with the Packers, Starks averaged 4.1 yards per carry and caught 125 passes.
