Apparently some of you are having difficulty understanding he had a torn meniscus and continuing to play on it could set him up for worse issues with the knee.
That's what I was getting at earlier. at this point, I'm not sure if Greene is even capable of playing in the game. If the knee is not going to be healed by the bowl game, then you're looking at a choice of an injured player who is less than 100% versus a healthy player who may not be as good, but is healthy.
The timing stinks, but that's life. I guess the other question (which again, I cannot answer) is whether Greene would have made the same choice if the knee was 100% healthy. that would change the whole equation.
so, it could be (option A): "I can't play in the game anyway because of my knee, so I might as while sign with an agent and start planning for my future."
Or, it could be (option B): "I could play in the game at 80%, and run the risk of an injury that might end my shot at the pros. I'm not risking my future by playing in the bowl game."
Until or unless someone comes out with the "inside" story, we may never know.
