if this happened to the Broncos or Raiders, we'd all be laughing at them calling them morons.

Exactly.
I'm pretty sure folks wouldn't be lining up to wash Elways balls for "recognizing a mistake and cutting bait early".
This is a knee-jerk move. I really hope it was a brilliantly calculated one where Dorsey was sure he could get the guy on the practice squad and wanted to knock him down a peg. We'll find out by about 5p this afternoon.
I'll still think it was too risky. The Cardinals did something similar with Aledmys Diaz last July to get a JAG on the roster for 10 days; it was remarkably stupid but they got lucky and nobody picked Diaz up. This year he was an All-Star as a rookie and may well be the best player on the team. All it woul've taken was one GM to decide that he was worth a million dollar gamble and a spot on the 40 man to make the Cardinals look extraordinarily stupid.
