Maybe I missed that but at least I knew Grubbs played guard.

Lord no.
Every team has its own baselines for failed physicals. If a team could just designate guys with a failed physical designation anytime they wanted to avoid a cap hit, the abuse would be off the charts.
The Redskins took a cap hit for a dude that got murdered. The NFL doesn't really give a great number of ****s when it comes to your cap hit - you're pretty much always going to have to deal with that dead money.
