|Montana Bengal| Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/09/15/bengals-claim-keivare-russell/ Quote Bengals claim KeiVarae Russell Posted by Zac Jackson on September 15, 2016, 4:37 PM EDT The Bengals claimed cornerback KeiVarae Russell Thursday, a day after the Chiefs made the rare and curious move of waiving a 2016 third-round pick. The Bengals have been looking for cornerback depth and are without their first-round pick,William Jackson III, until at least November. The Bengals are pretty far down the waiver wire order, so it’s interesting to see that most of the league passed on taking Russell. Russell played in all four preseason games but was inactive for last week’s game before being waived. The Bengals cut guard Trey Hopkins to make room on the roster for Russell and could bring Hopkins back to their practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I doubt Dennard is in trouble. This is just the kind of cornerback they like to play the perimeter. He's got length and speed. Problem is, he wasn't very good at ND last year and he is a third round pick that got cut. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Tigers Johnson| Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 He is a third round pick from THIS year... Why didn't the Chiefs give him time to develop? Makes no sense with his physical attributes and ability... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type of guy the Bengals were happy to take a shot with. And the Bengals have good connections with ND too so they aren't taking a blind chance.

Enon Bengal Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Reading on a KC message board, sounds more like a salary cap game than anything else, cut #53 on a 53 man roster, bring back a vet DL after week one so you don't have to guarantee his salary. Stuff coming out now about academic fraud at ND, tons of replies to this topic on their board. This was amazing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is academic fraud for student athletes in almost all schools. Remember how James Brooks is almost an illiterate? And the one guy who sued his school a number of years ago. Begs the question how did they get in in the first place. But the point... did this guy do anything else besides be dumber than a box of rocks? Good pick up for potential alone. KC was trying to sneak him through the waiver wires and get him on their practice squad, I would assume. Whatever... he can take Hopkins's spot on the inactive list for a few weeks until he learns the scheme. If he is smart enough to absorb it and does not go all Dawson on us.
