WEDNESDAY, 4:44pm: The Packers have officially re-signed Starks, the team announced today in a press release.
MONDAY, 9:24pm: Free agent running back James Starks is expected to remain with the Packers on a two-year contract, according to Adam Schefter, who says the deal is imminent (via Twitter).
Starks, 28, played 13 games last season (missed three with a knee injury), making one start, and had 89 carries for 493 yards (5.5 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. He rejoins a deep backfield, including Rookie of the Year Eddie Lacy, second-year back Johnathan Franklin and DuJuan Harris, who showed promise in 2012 before missing 2013 because of a knee injury.
Good re-signing. Eddie Lacy is a beast, but you can never have too many good backs. Starks was pretty impressive in limited time. I’d gladly take him over BJGE in Cincy
