Dammit Smashmouth, please rethink this!

Yet another move reminding us that we don't know a whole lot. Griffin and Bailey out, Graham & Dixon in? No one had that. Edebali, Powell, Fortt AND Knox make it, but only 5 CB's?
Remember that SP makes the personnel decisions, and Mickey cuts the checks...seems like they might have a plan for the $3.2 mill in cap space we have left

Maybe they just plan on using it next off-season.

Don't like either decision. Understand both. I would have signed Barth and placed Lorig on bring back IR. Barth is simply a better kicker with an upside and Johnson can hold down the limited role of FB down until Lorig is healthy. For the ones saying Griffin can't win now, you clearly didn't watch him with the 1's, and you're mainly just rationalizing the FO's decision. The guy can and will play in the NFL. Outside of one drive in preseason, McNown looked like the journeyman 11 year vet with 9 TD's and 14 ints to his credit. The Rams will claim him because they have absolutely nothing to lose by claiming him. That being said, Griffin could go unclaimed and the Saints may sign Barth next week. You never know. Hopefully, neither will play a factor in whipping the Falclowns.

Are we still on Earth?

By allowing all the other teams including the rams to fill out the qb position on each teams 53 roster an practice squad it lowers the odds some team claims griffin or offers him a practice squad spot.Still its a risk i would not have done.Also the IR can return from what i understand can only be used one time only each season.So if in the atlanta game say Drew hurt his knee bad an you know the rehab will take say 8 weeks then you sure would wish you had the option of IR can return.I think they will use itthe IR return an could be on the fullback they just wish to see how the injury list looks after two to four games.Question now is who gets cut on the practice squad to make a spot for Griffin,

Who's to say they even want Griffin on the practice squad? We are in win now mode with Drew's age and the backup QB needs the experience. By the time Drew retires, Griffin will be past his prime or close to it...
