Cardinals | Trio of RBs to likely get long look Sat Jul 21, 10:22 PM
With Arizona Cardinals RBs Beanie Wells (knee) and Ryan Williams (knee) likely to see limited touches during the preseason, RBs Javarris James, LaRod Stephens-Howling and Alfonso Smith are likely to see an extended look during training camp and the preseason. James is considered a long shot to make the team, while Stephens-Howling and Smith will both have a role with the team.
| Footballguys view: 'Baby J' James is the younger cousin of former Colts (and Cardinals) RB Edgerrin James. He's a no-nonsense runner but is not creative or elusive in the open field. Stephens-Howling reminds some of Saints RB Darren Sproles, while Smith is a valuable back because of his versatility as a runner, receiver, and special teams player. |

Cardinals | Four players added Mon May 14, 06:23 PM
The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent RB Javarris James (Colts) and PK Ricky Schmitt (Chargers) as well as undrafted free-agent CB Larry Parker (San Diego State) and S Eddie Elder (Arizona State). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: "Baby J" is not as talented as his cousin, former Colts/Cardinals RB Edgerrin James. He'll give the Cardinals some much needed depth at the RB position, but won't be much of a fantasy factor if he makes the final roster. |

Cardinals | Javarris James in camp on tryout basis Mon May 14, 01:48 AM
Free-agent RB Javarris James (Colts) is one of 16 players working with the Arizona Cardinals during minicamp on a tryout basis. 'I'm just happy to have this opportunity. The decision isn't up to me. I need to study my playbook and execute my assignments, and that's all I can do,' James said.
| Footballguys view: "Baby J" is not as good as his cousin Edgerrin James but may be able to stick on a Cardinals roster that is thin at the reserve RB position. |

Colts | Javarris James arrested in Florida Sat Jun 11, 02:57 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Javarris James was arrested Thursday, June 9, in Fort Myers, Fla. on a marijuana possession charge. He was taken into custody at 9:30pm and released an hour later. He is charged with marijuana possession of no more than 20 grams.
| Footballguys view: James is going to find a very cramped backfield in Indianapolis this year with the addition of potential stud Delone Carter. He doesn't need any off field incidents to make him look bad in the team's eyes. |

Colts | RB Hart the odd man out? Sun May 15, 07:41 PM
Arthur Arkush, from ProFootballWeekly.com, reports with the addition of RB Delone Carter in the 2011 NFL Draft it could push veteran RB Mike Hart off the final roster.
| Footballguys view: Hart was counted on to grind out tough yardage for the team last year but has struggled to stay healthy during his entire career. Carter is stronger and more powerful than Hart, plus he's a better receiver out of the backfield. |

Colts | Delone Carter addition might shake up backfield Sun May 1, 12:53 AM
The Indianapolis Colts added RB Delone Carter in the fourth round, potentially shaking up the team's backfield. It's possible that means there will only be one roster spot between RBs Mike Hart and Javarris James, especially since leading rusher RB Joseph Addai accepted a one-year deal as a restricted free agent and RB Donald Brown has two years remaining on his contract.
| Footballguys view: Carter is a favorite of our Footballguys staff. He runs like a bowling ball with legs and loves to knock over defenders. His low center of gravity enhances his change of direction skills and he is quicker than some think. Carter was a fine addition by the Colts and is talented enough to take over as their lead back. |

Wilson. 'It's kind of a day-to-day situation. If he doesn't go, obviously Mike Hart has to be the guy to step it up a little bit, and Javarris James will have to carry a few duties as well,' head coach Jim Caldwell said.

Redskins | Sign two RBs to practice squad Wed Oct 6, 01:59 PM
The Washington Redskins have signed free-agent RBs Keiland Williams and Javarris James to their practice squad, reports Matt Terl, of Redskins.com.
| Footballguys view: Keiland Williams is back with the Redskins after getting cut a week ago. He is a good all around back with good field vision and size. Javarris James was released by the Patriots, but is not nearly the same back that Williams is. James is instinctive, but he lacks the power or speed that could really set him apart. |

Colts | Mike Hart could be pushed for roster spot Sat Jul 24, 03:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Mike Hart could be pushed for a roster spot by RB Devin Moore and RB Javarris James, according to The Sports XChange.
| Footballguys view: Javarris James aka 'Baby J' is the cousin of former Colts great Edgerrin James. He was a solid RB in college for the Miami Hurricanes, but never really wowed people or lived up to expectations. Devin Moore is a super fast back from Wyoming, but he lacks the creativity as a runner to be anything more than a change of pace back. |

Colts | Nine UDFAs signed Tue Apr 27, 05:54 PM
The Indianapolis Colts have signed undrafted free-agent RB Javarris James (Miami, Fla.), QB Tim Hiller (Western Michigan), PK Brett Swenson (Michigan State), WR Blair White (Michigan State), WR Brandon James (Florida), S Mike Newton (Buffalo), S David Caldwell (William & Mary), LB Vuna Tuihalamaka (Arizona) and CB Brandon King (Purdue). Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: We love the pairing of WR Blair White with the Colts. He started at Michigan State as a walk-on, and was a scholarship player two years later. White is a very hard worker that can quickly get in and out of breaks. He has great hands and hates to drop passes. It's fitting that RB Javarris James (Edgerrin's cousin) gets a chance to make the Colts roster. He never flashed great ability at the University of Miami, but is a very instinctive and gutsy running back. |

| Footballguys view: Graham is the former college basketball player that is trying to follow in the footsteps of Antonio Gates. James is the younger cousin of former Colts RB Edgerrin James. He is an instinctive back, but lacks the elite skill set that his older cousin had. |
