Chiefs Chiefs release KeiVarae Russell - Page 24

Rand Gettlin-I'm told the #Chiefs have released defensive back KeiVarae Russell. Special teams numbers game. Super talented player. Likely to be claimed.

WOW

Correct, Miller acknowledged that he really like Russell going into the draft. I guess that's why he was trying to find out what happened. He said when you come out liking a guy, and he gets cut, other draft analysts and scouts let you have it. He indicated that after talking to more of those guys, he might have a better idea of what happened with Russell.

Yeah, Dane, looks like you nailed this one! Nice take!!!

unless he takes the opportunity to humble from that (if accurate), you are probably right, take the hit, cut bait, and move on

Oh man, combine that with this trade...

Bears receive:
» 2016 first-round pick (No. 9): Leonard Floyd

Buccaneers receive:
» 2016 first-round pick (No. 11): Vernon Hargreaves
» 2016 fourth-round pick (No. 106): Traded to Chiefs

So tampa traded back 2 spots in the 1st, out of the top10 for cryin out loud, so they could move up 15 spots into the late 2nd to take a K. when they likely could have had they K @74 anyway and profitted pick #106.

I'll give Dane credit for calling it. I won't be sucking his dick like Billay though.

I remain flabbergasted... A player at a skill position running his mouth? Imagine that. Kid had talent coming out of college and was a third round pick. There's more to this story than a guy running his mouth, unless he was running his mouth directly at the coaching staff on the daily.

On a team that is probably one of the most player friendly teams with one of the most player friendly coaching staffs in the league, gotta be something more.

Maybe he got caught in the hotel with a room full of hookers and blow, who knows.

Gaines isn't terrible, Nelson hasn't played a ton, Acker is new for us but had 3 INTs last season for SF.

He was pretty vocal during his suspension at ND. If he felt that his place on the depth chart with the Chiefs was bullshit....then I could see him being vocal about that as well.

He mentioned this also, that he thought Russel would be starting by the end of the season.

Just listened to Miller's interview. He apparently ran his mouth to the leaders of the team like he was hot shit and they didn't like it at all.

Sometimes you just have to clean out the bad apple.

Guess we know what the team is going to be drafting next year (unless Gaines continues to show well and the other young guys come along nicely).

The magnificent 7 agree.

He'll become a Bronco, eventually replace Talib for peanuts and be an All-Pro.
