The team had told the Warrenton native he would be cut after the final preseason game, then re-signed once he cleared waivers, and it followed through Monday, according to the team’s Web site. McGrorty will make about half of the $230,000 for which he originally signed. McGrorty shattered 10 school or Northwest small-college records and compiled 5,414 rushing yards and 79 touchdowns during his Raider career.
