Still became a household name for his moving story and his desire to remain on the Bengals’ roster to get health insurance to help his daughter Leah treat cancer. The nation fell in love with his daughter and her incredible strength and positive outlook on life.
Fans were understandably concerned about his daughter and how she would continue to receive treatment.
@ProFootballTalk really hope someone signs him. Doesn't matter on field play, we want to see his daughter get the support she needs.

Fortunately, there is some safety nets in place for Still and Leah.
Important to know, because #Bengals kept Still on last year, he and Leah now have 5 years of NFL health insurance regardless of NFL status.
