PrintI'm a little surprised by this move, but Graham Harrell was released by Green Bay today. Thought he showed something in pre-season.

I think they have to make him available to other teams before putting him on the practice squad
He will still be their 3rd QB if no other team snatches him up.
2011 Season - No excuses. Just win!
Agreed.
Mike McCarthy is giving him his respect and dangling him out for a team so he gets a shot. If not, he will get picked up for the GB Practice Squad and be the back there next year when Matt Flynn gets traded or picked up in the off season Free Agency.

Oh well
At least he was given a shot. What is his degree? He may want to think about pursuing it, as I just think GB and all the rest are just screwing him over. I have zip respect for the NFL about now.

Hope he gets a shot
But I’ve seen how stupid NFL teams can be after living in DFW for 25 years. It’s surprising how stupid general mangers and coaches can often be. Hope Graham makes it onto the practice squad at least.
49 ers. Would be Awsome.

I hope so
I would love to see him reunited with Crabtree, and put with another great QB coach in Harbaugh. The Niners did cut the backup QB they brought in late (McCown), so it is possible that Harbaugh might be willing to bring in another QB to help shield his QB of the future (Colin Kaepernick).
NFL rules....
State before you can place a player on the PS they have to be cleared across waivers and offered to all 32 NFL teams….. I know that’s what the Packers are doing with Harrell, I hope that’s what the Cowboys are doing with Brandon.
Btw, if a team “claims” a player off the waiver wire at the final cut, he has to be on your active roster for the entire year….so could be a win win for Harrell.
i could have sworn
that i read an article not 2 weeks ago that he had locked up the 3rd spot. of course if they are doing it as a strategic move, thats fine, and if he gets picked up by someone else to be #2, even better.
Harrell cleared the waiver wire....
and was resigned by the Packers…..He will be the 3rd string QB…..on the PS.
Yippeeeeee
I stand corrected. Maybe GB really does care.

Flynn's contract is up after the season
at which point he becomes serious trade-bait, assuming he builds on the success he had coming in as relief in 2010. Harrell’s going to be fine.
He could

he would certainly care about winning
"I feel sorry for the guys," Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville said. "They fought hard tonight. We didn't look good on offense or defense at times, and at times we looked pretty good. It's just, I don't know. Weird game.
Dont forget the big man Louie Vasquez and the Eagle DB
Hey Tubs this is the Wild West, Good guys wear white, were the Red Raiders we wear BLACK. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Dont buy the Espn/Disney/ABC hype ! Playoffs are just spin to hide their agenda of owning our favorite sport.
Whew…rough week for Red Raiders, wasn’t it. I didn’t see if Brandon Williams landed on a practice squad, but I was very surprised he was odd man out in Dallas. Leong was not a surprise at all. He had no chance with Dallas.
Also a little surprised Graham cleared waivers.
That was disappointing;
but maybe agent had something to do with it. I don’t think it hurst GH to stay in GB system for another year. He has really improved under McCarthy.

$5,700/week minimum on PS
and "There is no limit to how much a team can pay a practice squad player. Several teams have enticed players with offers of increased pay, usually a few thousand dollars extra, to join or remain on their practice squad."
And he lives a very sparse existence on top of that.

Hey,
Green Bay knows a cutie when they see one …. counts with the female watchers.
