The Packers waived Callahan Thursday. He had made the team — and apparently made an impression on the Saints — with a strong preseason showing. Callahan is an undrafted rookie who played Div. III college football at Wesley.

The Saints had been going with just Drew Brees and Luke McCown at quarterback on the active roster since cutting Garrett Grayson, a second-year player who’s on the practice squad.

The Saints cut veteran tackle Khalif Barnes to create room on the roster for Callahan.

I don't understand this move.

The Packers loved this kid and he looked damn good in preseason. No doubt they were hoping they could stash him on the practice squad. Not a good look for Grayson.

Why not release Grayson and keep Barnes?

Circle back to the "moves" we've made thus far due to injuries ...

John Kuhn, Sterling Moore and BJ Webb.

From the readings of prior posters - GB fans, coaches (specifically McCarthy) and A Rodgers all were extremely impressed with Callahan.

I don't see this as a bad "move" at all but that's just me.
