|Montana Bengal| Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 http://www.profootballrumors.com/texans-sign-devon-still/Texans Sign Devon StillJanuary 6th, 2016 at 3:07pm CST by Luke AdamsThe Texans have signed former Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still to a reserve/futures contract, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle (Twitter link). Because the Texans’ season isn’t over yet, the team can’t sign its practice squad players to futures deals yet,Devon Still but it can lock up a player like Still, who wasn’t on any club’s roster or practice squad when the season ended.Still, who hasn’t made a start in his three-year NFL career since being selected in the second round of the 2012 draft, nonetheless became a fan favorite in Cincinnati and around the league as his young daughter, Leah Still, battled cancer. Leah went into remission from neuroblastoma in March, and Still announced just over a month ago that she was cancer-free.Still has yo-yo’d between the Bengals 53-man roster and practice squad in the past, but was no longer eligible to join any team’s practice squad after Cincinnati cut him loose in September, so he has been a free agent since then. On the field, Still saw a career-high 237 defensive snaps as a part-time player for Cincinnati in 2014, recording 19 tackles and a pair of quarterback hurries.Having worked out for several teams throughout the season, including the Texans just last week, Still had been expected to land a futures contract once the regular season came to an end. The contract will go into effect on the first day of the 2016 league year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StripesEarned Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good for him glad to see a hometown guy get back into the NFL after all he had to endure. Loved watching him at Penn St he was dominant almost Geno like. I had high hopes for him when we drafted him but things more important than football had other plans for him and hopefully hes better in the long run for it. Good luck to him other then when it relates to Cincy in any way shape or form. Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincity Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think he'd fit better in a 3-4 defense anyway. He was too slow for a DE position as a 4-3 and he jus wasn't stout enough as a DT in the 4-3. a 3-4 DE is perfect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
