So, our backup STer, Grissom, is being paid as the 54th player. This is really good deal for the team and for Grissom. He can be activated when necessary, or not. There is no negative other than the use of a small amount of salary.
Also, we have some idea of the top half of food chain among PS players.

Patriots are known for paying practice-squad players more than the minimum as an incentive for them to stick with the club. That has continued this season, with defensive end Geneo Grissom given a base salary of $615,000, which is what he would have received if on the active roster. Consider that the minimum salary for practice-squad players, and what most earn across the NFL, is $122,400. The Patriots are also paying practice-squad players Willie Beavers ($255,000), Angelo Blackson ($255,000), D.J. Foster ($255,000) and Demarcus Ayers ($170,000) at an increased rate.
