It's not worth it.

How would anybody know that? Nobody knows if he can even play let alone how much he would cost. If he can get back to at least 80% and we could get him cheap I would be all for it if the need came up.
He's not going to want to just go anywhere anyway. He would want to go somewhere to get a ring and probably play at the minimum.

With all the potential talent we have; who would you get rid of to sign Greer at 80%?

I wouldn't get rid of anyone. Hopefully we wouldn't need him or any other DB out there. I was talking about losing someone to IR. Or 2 somebodies. At that point I imagine some phone calls would be made. Every year we seem to get beat up at a particular position, running back in 2010, then WRs, it does happen.

You do understand that if you lose a RB or WR to IR in most cases you sign another RB or WR? You don't go signing an aged player for a position of strength when you lose another position...

I gotta imagine that if we thought of it on a forum, the coaches have thought about it. I'm sure people know.

You and I may not know what he would cost or what he could do but Loomis does.

I'd rather throw league minimum at a young project than 80% of a 10 year vet.

Agreed, but if you are in week 12 and you need someone to come in and make an impact, someone like Greer (or Mackenzie and Bellamy in the past) would be a better short term option.
Of course, when all of our "projects"- Sweeting, SJB, White, etal pan out, we won't have have that problem :}
