IMO, DAT has more value as an inactive player on the Chiefs roster than if they were to cut him loose, as he might very well end up on a rival's 53.

Dorsey's playing chess while other guys are playing checkers.

Personally, I find this to be fantastic news. Dorsey isn't going to wait on players that show nothing and are clearly beaten out by 6th round players at the same position. Russell in no way, shape or form showed that he belonged on an NFL roster this year or on the field, although it won't be surprising if he's signed to the Practice Squad if he goes unclaimed.

And seriously, why would any team claim him at this point and put him on their 53?

Would love to see KC trade for a stud pass rusher but not sure why a team would part with anyone worthwhile at this point in the season.

And Dane is correct that when you have built a pretty solid team you're going to have a hard time keeping picks -- it isn't necessarily a sign of a bad pick. I also liked DJ White's play and enthusiasm more than Russell's so not like we lost anything. DJ's tackle on Sunday was a big one and he'll have many more to come.

This has a lot to do with having a deep roster...good problem to have.

This is more of an indictment on Russell than Dorsey. There's a big problem if you're drafted in the top 100 (74?) and get little playing time in ****ing preseason and then cut after week 1.

Only on CP...

Player X: "He needs 3-4 years to realize his potential. GIVE HIM TIME!!!"

Russell: "He's garbage 1 week into his career, cutting him was the right move."

LMAO

Guess what happens in the very first game? Smith gives up a 98 yard TD and was benched. Smith even admitted "I was getting killed".

Dorsey, once again, proving he's a pimp.
