Dorsey went out there and peddled him to every team in the league for a 2018 7th round pick to see if there was any interest. He got no takers and realized he could send the kid a message. If he threw out trial balloons and got no nibbles, it might lead him to believe that he can actually slip him through to the practice squad to knock him down a peg. If so, I still think it's too clever by half (still a lot of risk there), but it's slightly more defensible.

You've never criticized anything this team has done so of course you won't start now.

![]() It sucks, but I'm not going to cry about it after I've seen Jones, White, Murray, Hill, Ehinger, and Nicholas all look like they can turn out to be solid picks. |

If it turns out to be something petty, then I'd agree but it's very difficult to make any kind of determination at this point because we, the fans, don't have any facts.
If it turns out it was something serious with the coaching staff, especially a HOFer like Emmitt Thomas, then releasing him is acceptable. If the guy isn't claimed or claimed but released again, the indication would be that he's the problem, not the process or the Chiefs. Again, it's too early but Reid surely sounded like a man ready to move on. |

It's obvious he was cut because right now he's an awful football player and he won't listen to the coaches to work on his shortcomings.

If I'm Russell there is no way I am agreeing to a Practice Squad spot with the team that just cut me from my 3rd round pick salary and then is offering me peanuts on the PS. Unless of course they have some agreement to pay him more, but still the Chiefs basically just denied him 3rd round cash why would he stay here.

My sources telling me he didn't want to stand for the national anthem on Sunday, so the Chiefs released.....

He's also been a hell of a football player and in the end, production wins out. Guys will put up with ANYTHING if you produce. And no, Russell didn't produce but they also cut him before he got a chance to prove that he could. Give him a year as an inactive (or even on the damn IR) and maybe he learns some valuable lessons there. But hey, I'd like to again chalk one up to Eric Berry's supreme leadership skills. If a guy wants to get paid for his intangibles, you'd like to think he could at least convince a 3rd rounder to not talk his way off the team.

All of the outstanding moves Dorsey has made over the years, and he needs to be crucified over this?
Whatever, have at it... guess we need something to talk about |
