Interesting to note:

The veteran cut-down date is after game 9. What that means is that the Stamps are on the hook for his salary for the rest of the season - this was done on purpose so to not leave the guy out in the cold, show him at least some respect/courtesy (or whatever the term is).

Jiri - as for Grace...I can see him sticking around at least for the end of the year. The Stamps are really high on Cornelius Anthony, so I fully expect him to be starting in 2007.

Grace is great...like White, I wouldn't want to see him go...but the CFL is entering the wonderful world of the salary cap, so if the team gets younger, cheaper (and hopefully better), then so be it. But since he hasn't been cut, I see him sticking around for the rest of the year (if he's not traded).
