Per Ben Maller:
Sorry if a re-post.
I love this guy.
If you're not going to play me, trade me. That's what demoted free safety Mike Green said Wednesday after the Bears informed rookie Chris Harris that he was the new starter. Green's benching Sunday in the first half of a 9-7 loss at Washington became permanent as the 28-year-old veteran has been sidelined because of two errors. "I feel like I am a starter and can start just about anywhere in this league,'' Green said "I don't feel like I am a guy who should be on the bench, and if [a trade] option comes, let it be.'' Green's representatives already have inquired about that option with general manager Jerry Angelo, but Angelo said the Bears cannot pursue that avenue until they find out if Harris can play. Green's base salary of $1.2 million climbs to $1.385 million in 2006, well above the minimums typically paid to reserve safeties.
