My NEW favorite Team!!!! (I guess sometimes its NOT about the money). Bengals re-sign Devon Still to help him pay for daughters cancer treatments The Cincinnati Bengals made arguably their greatest move of the season this week. The Bengals re-signed defensive tackle Devon Still to their practice squad Sunday to help him pay for his 4-year-old daughters cancer treatments. He was waived by the team last Saturday. Still learned back in June that his daughter, Leah, has stage-four pediatric cancer. Since the diagnosis, Stills mind understandably hasnt been completely on football as he missed parts of organized team activities and minicamp this offseason to be with his daughter, which is why he understood the teams decision to cut him. I completely understand where the Bengals were coming from when they cut me because I couldnt give football 100 percent, Still told ABC News. But when Still received the call this morning that he had been signed to the practice squad and would receive health insurance as well as a weekly salary of $6,300, he was incredibly grateful. Still also will remain in the game he loves, for the team that drafted him, without all of the traveling, meaning he can be closer to his daughter as she undergoes treatments. They could have washed their hands with me and said they didnt care about what I was going through off the field, Still said. Its like a blessing in disguise for me.
