The only problem with this strategy is that, because McGinest is a vested veteran, he'd be entitled to receive his full salary as termination pay, if he's on the opening-day roster and if he's cut after Pace returns. So the cheaper alternative would be to carry a guy who otherwise would have been dumped before the season started, and to drop him behind Vernon Gholston on the depth chart while Pace is gone.
