If memory serves me right, had Erasmus gotten cut, he would have gone through the waiver wire and other teams would have picked him up. Not that this actually justifies the move, but it explains why they did it. Besides, it's not like 7th rounders work out all the time.

I'm sure I can think of one or two or fifty other moves made by Vinny that were dumber than this one.
