Quote:Gotta be Gratz after what we saw Johnson do. I said it in preseason: Gratz was only retained because Colvin had to be removed from the roster for four weeks. That is more clear now because of what Johnson did.

I agree, JJ showed up in a BIG way against the Colts and has been making plays since the offseason. I still think Gratz gets the "IR" with a trumped up injury rather than outright cut; since i doubt we'd be able to find someone off the street that is as good and knows our system, even as a #5 CB, as sad as that sounds. That last point is compounded with Prince Amukamara here on a 1 year deal, i hope he's back but he may sign for huge $$$ elsewhere, so we shouldn't just be jettisoning our depth... since a position of strength can be an injury or two away from being a weakness) also we complain about Gratz in a frontline role, as a backup or deep roster guy I'm fine with him as long as he contributes on special teams, and it's a plus that he doesn't count against the salary cap since we can pay him in gum  :woot:

 

Also I was upset during final cuts when they got rid of BB Calhoun since he's shown up in Cleveland the past few weeks, but after seeing JJ last week i think Caldwell made the right call on that roster decision!!!
