Since he returned form a hamstring injury that cost him two games, running back Shonn Greene has been a virtual non-entity for the Tennessee Titans.

He has converted on a couple of short-yardage situations, but he's playing so little there is no way the Titans can believe he's worth the $2.4 million he's being paid in base salary this year.

He played four of 62 snaps in the 45-21 loss at Houston. And in the five games since he got healthy, he's played 23 snaps out of 287 -- a whopping eight percent.

I won't bother to ask coach Ken Whisenhunt about it Monday, because it would bring the same boilerplate answer the question's brought in the past: Greene's in certain packages but the game dictated the Titans use different ones.

I'm not blaming Greene for anything except not showing more life when given the chance, and that's hardly a problem unique to him.

He's exactly what the Titans should have expected when they got roasted for giving him a three-year, $10 million deal in 2012.

The season dictates that the Titans now move away from guys who have no future in Nashville.

Greene is due $3.35 million in 2015, the third and final year of his contract. There is no way the team can pay him that.

They made room on the roster on Oct. 21 to promote undrafted rookie running back Antonio Andrews from the practice squad when he could have signed with Buffalo.

What's the point in the final four games for playing Greene, who's got no future, ahead of Andrews, who might have one?

There is none.

Andrews should be one of the active 46 for the remaining four games.
