Other possible explanations:
*We're keeping him to bolster trade value. A player who makes a team may hold more perceived value than one who was cut.
*Would we actually use him in the backfield or at receiver alongside RGIII?
*Kirk's injury is actually serious enough to prevent him from playing early in the season. We keep White rostered AND active on gamedays in case Griffin needs to come out. We keep Grossman inactive like last season. If White needs to step in for a play or two or God forbid the rest of a game, we won't have to switch offensive scheme mid-game...just hands. When Kirk is 100%, he's gone.
*We're planning on trading Kirk sooner than later and we want a backup who can run the read-option. As mentioned, White becomes the in-game replacement and Grossman would be the "next-week" substitute.
*We're holding him for the sole reason of keeping Philly from using him in practice since he knows our offense. We cut him Tuesday morning.
