Well, this is definitely a move we'll be dissecting for years. Dorsey's gonna take a lot of flak if he ends up being a contributor.

Well he coulden't play OG so no time to develope and holding out for a few bucks he'll be alright.
White is bringing the wood, at least on one play.

This whole Russell thing is odd. Giving up on a 3rd round pick this soon is rather unusual; on the other hand, if the Chiefs simply took the approach of looking at the least productive member on the roster, well, it'd be hard to find a lesser productive player than Russell. Either he couldn't or wouldn't play special teams, he was having difficulty picking up "the system", he apparently ran his mouth far beyond the norm for a non-productive rookie, and the coaches obviously felt he was the worst CB on the team and were not enamoured with his "potential".
If they felt Moses was needed to shore up the OLB position, then they needed to drop someone. Lo and behold, that someone was Russell. I guess they could've dropped an OL, but the numbers were already a little thin in that position. Could've dropped a TE, but they like the 3 TE sets, so that wasn't going to happen. Wouldn't make much sense to drop a runner what with Charles still a bit banged up. All in all, Russell didn't do anything to distinguish himself (other than run his mouth), so they simply cut the guy. Too bad he was a 3rd round selection, but sometimes you just flat miss on a guy. Would this consitute a "football decision", or am I just trying to build a case using minimal facts and a bunch of guessing? In any event, it is unusual to see a 3rd rounder cut this early. Hmmmm... |

All players on the PS treated as free agents? If that had been the goal and KC had managed to get him to the PS, can other teams still talk/sign him?

According to Paylor, the Bengals were slotted at #24, which means that 24 teams, including the Chiefs, passed on the guy.
Considering his cap number is about $450k this year and all of the winless teams passed on him, there's got to be something about the guy that teams don't like. |

The Bengals have been able to work with players with issues. Not that it's won them anything.....but I'd bet that Russell works out for them.
