How many of you wish Ned and Dayton had the balls to admit Soria/Young was a mistake and cut their worthless asses?

Do they put him on the PS and cut someone to make room.

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'm not disagreeing with you. He showed nothing in preseason. But he did show a lot at Notre Dame that made him a 3rd round pick. All I am saying is that there are teams with turds at the bottom of there roster that will move one of those turds to give him a shot. If this was 2013 and another team had drafted and cut him, half of this board would have been saying that we should bring him in for a look. We had so many craptastic players on our roster that we would have never missed, so why not use one of those spots to take a low risk high reward shot on a guy that looked pretty good coming out of college.

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

With our trade downs we got our starting LG and Eric Berry's future replacement. We're good. Don't worry about us.

There are a lot of bad teams in this league and you don't have to field every player on your roster. My memory is that only 46 dress out.

Which is why cutting a 3rd rounder so you can choose to not dress DAT instead is just stupid. You're going to have a handful of healthy scratches each week anyway; Russell should've been one of them.

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?

Hell yes. I love this part of Dorsey.

I think he'll be on the practice squad because of that unless we just flat out don't like the kid.

I wonder if the cap space part of all of this was created for someone like Ron Leary to start ahead of Ehinger?

No clue what we would give up, but with Moses back it would have to include a deadweight guy to get back under 53.

DAT has more value in the NFL this season than Russell.

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.

It's not because I called this weeks ago but I do believe that Dorsey has proven since 2013 that he deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to personnel decisions, especially those in the secondary.
