Lazard probably would not be anything special - but maybe, just maybe, he turns out to be red zone threat or catches a few balls in the middle of the field to move the chains.  Maybe you try him out as a TE and split him out or something.  We probably have the worst TE group in the NFL so it's not like we could get much worse. 

Greene is probably still here because of his experience returning punts. Off the top of my head, there's no one on the 53-man with any real experience doing so other than Westbrook and Greene. I think Ramsey has been a punt returner in the past, but like hell they're going to risk getting their best player's ACL relocated in a meaningless late-season game. Maybe Chark could step in? Point being, there's not a ton of experience at that position, and even though Greene is far from a game breaker (well, he's not a game breaker for us, anyway) he's a veteran option who can gain a few yards if Westbrook isn't back there. Added bonus: if Greene gets splattered on a punt return, nothing of value is lost.

Let's just be honest about Lazard: you guys are only interested in him because he's 6'5" 230 and runs sub-4.6. If the dude were 5'9" 190 no one here would have noticed. There didn't seem to be anything special about his game in the preseason aside from the fact that he can jump a lot higher than the typical 5'11" cornerback. If the Jaguars thought he was going to be any good at receiver, they could have waived a guy like Spaight, Herndon or Reavis to bring him in, or they could have raised his salary to exceed the Packers' offer while keeping him on the practice squad. They didn't, and given that they just signed a very similar player to the PS to replace him (Jordan Veasy, 6'3" 225, 4.5), it seems to be a pretty clear case of "the dude ain't got it" rather than a numbers game.

But, I mean, in a world where Shankson Myers makes the Pro Bowl, who knows what kind of crazy things can happen? Maybe the Patriots ship us a 7th for Blake Bortles, who ends up replacing Tom Brady and going to the Hall of Fame?
