We kept Alford over Little because Alford is still just a rookie who will continue to develop as he practices with the team. Little is already as good as he is going to get. There was no benefit to keep him around to practice with the team.
A team that needs a kick returner could very very easily taken a waiver on Alford.
Your second point makes more sense. If we ever needed Little, he'll almost definitely be waiting next to the phone.
