OT: Good Job Bengals - Devon Still Signed to PS to keep insurance

[clif]

When you read about what they are doing for Devon Still in light of the terrible news regarding his daughter, you have to respect that organization. GOD Bless her and her family as well as the Bengals.

Devon Still was signed to the practice squad and is able to retain his insurance. Why is this important?

At the time, Lewis was calling to inform Still that the team had no choice but to cut him. In doing that, Lewis told Still he'd be re-signed to the practice squad as long as he cleared waivers and didn't sign with another team. That's exactly what happened.

When Lewis made his practice-squad pitch to Still, he sold him on the following: That he'd still get to play with the team that drafted him. He'd continue to get a paycheck and insurance from that same team. And he wouldn't have to pick up and move even further across the country from his cancer-stricken 4-year-old girl.

Marvin Lewis if nothing else is a fantastic human being.

Remember when they were the thug team of the NFL? Marvin Lewis should be up for sainthood.

Classy move. Very typical of the Bengals.

Keep it up Cincinatti.

With respect to the Coach, none of this happens without the support of the Brown family, who are well-known for their support of players and their families away from the field.

As crazy as this sounds, the Bengals are an organization for the Cardinals to emulate. Or better yet the Saints lol.

The Cardinals, Bengals, and Saints were some of the worst teams in the NFL a decade ago. The Saints came out of their malaise first, followed by the Bengals, and now hopefully the Cardinals.
