Arkansas Bengal Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Bengal cut former second-rounder Devon Still Posted by Mike Florio on August 30, 2014, 1:55 PM EDT Getty Images In 2012, the Bengals used a second-round pick on defensive lineman Devon Still. In 2014, they release him. Per a league source, Still will be among the cuts down to 53 players. Still appeared in 10 games last season and eight as a rookie. He told PFT Live a month before the 2012 draft that Still, who played at Penn State, is a Stealers fan. The Stealers, along with every other team, will now have a chance to claim him on waivers. Still’s situation underscores the inherent crapshoot that is the draft. In the same year they ultimately wasted a second-round pick on Still, the Bengals signed an undrafted linebacker named Vontaze Burfict. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/30/bengal-cut-former-second-rounder-devon-still/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Worthy and Still cut on the same day. I have the STRONG feeling that team has an understanding with Devon to send him to the PS if he clears waivers. The guy has clearly been distracted. I'm sure MB, who takes care of his own like no one else, has him snugly under his wing. Still, it's gotta be tough to have your daughter fighting cancer and then lose your dream job...

Rumble In the Jungle Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 As a far as football goes he hasn't brought much to the table honestly. I am sure that was a very tough cut for the Bengals to make but it is a business. Now as far as his child goes like alleycat said Mr. Brown takes care of his own and I am sure they will help him out and do what they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 They probably could have stashed him on the NFI list. Just make up some shit like he tweaked an ankle playing pick up basketball or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_dish Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I know the guy has been struggling but damn. For pretty good reasons I'd think! The thing with his daughter was recent. He hasnt done shit since he was drafted. Cant believe he was the defensive player of the year in college and a green room selection for the draft. That said, hopefully he is put on the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unleashed Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yea I think Thompson has made a bigger impact than Still. It's probably better off now that he can concentrate on his daughter. Hope they can retain him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man the way he played in college was crazy good. But he hadn't done a thing here. Hate it for him and his family though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Feel for him with his daughter but at the same time he never performed here. His play has been entirely disappointing because he dominated in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kochman Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 PFT reporting Still let go. Would now be eligible for practice squad thanks to new rule. Of note for him, PS guys have full NFL insurance. Per-Paul Dehner Jr. twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I find this surprising considering the kept Flowers and DiManche and Bilukidi (even though two play at different positions). As for the Mike Brown taking care of his own with reference to Still, I would not be at all surprised if Mike Zimmer new of the cut before Devon did and Mr. Still will be sporting purple by next Sunday. God Bless and all the best to Still and his family no matter how this shakes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
