I dub thee a turd

I fully disagree.

Teams, even championship teams, miss on players every year, whether it's the 1st, 2nd or 3rd round.

Unless Dorsey packages up picks to move up in the early rounds, we'll see this type of move more often, as the Chiefs 53 is pretty stacked with starters, backups, young guys and character.

DAT and Davis have more value to this roster than Russell, which is what I've been saying all along. It's silly, IMO, to burn a roster spot on a guy that won't contribute in 2016 because he has "potential", which again, IMO, wasn't shown in the preseason.

He's a Practice Squad player at this point in his career, regardless of where he was drafted.

I think he gets claimed. Unless there is some legal issue or something we don't know about. I'm sure that most teams had him ranked high on their draft boards and a team that is weak at corner will gladly bump someone off of the bottom of their roster to take a flyer on a young corner. You all remember the guys that Dorsey grabbed off of the garbage heap in his first year here. Cooper in particular. Pioli had left this roster in shambles and we needed talent badly. There are plenty of teams in that shape now. Someone will claim him.

Props. I thought there was 0% chance they'd cut a third rounder. If you spend that capital on him, you would think they would be patient. Well, I would think anyway. Credit.

It'll be interesting to see if we ever figure out what happened here.

LOL he may start in Cleveland soon.

What this comes down to is pass rush. We needed all the help we can get at rushing the passer, and Russell was #53 on the 53 man roster. Enter Moses, exit Russell. Pretty elementary.

Gotta say I agree here. It's certainly not the first 3rd round ****ing bust.

What did he show in preseason that makes you believe that a team would claim him and put him on the field this Sunday?

I'm not stating that it's impossible but as I've said since July, I don't see it with this guy at this point in time.

I hadn't even learned to spell his name yet.

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

Yikes. The Chiefs would've been better off drafting Jones in the first and then drafting someone else in the second round.

The deal with Dezmon Moses is simple: Had he been on the roster Week 1, as a vested veteran, his salary would have been guaranteed for 2016.

Now, the Chiefs can cut him and re-sign all throughout the season, if necessary, while paying him weekly.

So, you're of the opinion that Russell should have been kept or are you stating that all players and positional values are different?

This is my sentiment. Pioli would've never done this. It takes balls to admit a big mistake like this so early. But there's a plan right now. Just waiting to see what it is.

3rd round picks are almost always trash. Jamel Fleming was a third round pick.
