TE JORDAN MATTHEWS -- BACK ON 53 ROSTER.!!

Or........they told him this is what they were going to do.  He is a vet so could not be claimed.  Could choose who he signed with.  He knew he was coming back so just played  out the process. In that case great move by Dan.

Hmm ... Never considered that. Sounds like something that Dan could have done. And, Jordan Matthews is trusting enough, I assume, to go along with it. Actually, it makes good sense.
