ol'_dirty2 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Got the text yesterday from ESPN Scorecenter, didn't get on the boards tro see if it was discussed here. I know the guy has the second fastest 40 time in recent history at the combine to CJ2K. Is this guy someone who would be on TD's radar, would he be an upgrade over Grimes or is he pretty much gonna cost too much? The Raiders appear to be cleaning house.

ol'_dirty2 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Look deep into that one man.Does he suck or is he a money or new regime casualty? Frankly, the last I heard of him was that 40 time he ran. I heard Archer and Bell throw his name out there today on the drive home, got me wondering if anyone else had posed this on the boards. Usually every guy that gets cut or released gets a "Bring 'Em Home" post. Wanted to do my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol'_dirty2 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Routt is terrible.Okay so that explains his dismissal. Didn't follow the Raiders, guess I would have known about his suckage if I did. Thx Bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajhae Battle Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This is funny cuz i don't know about him in real life but i had the use the Raiders in a Madden tournament (I ran wit the Birds, but i had to play wit the opposing team of someone running wit SD) and Stanford Routt kept getting beat, even bit on a play-action to give up a big play. I was saying to myself at that time that i'm glad he doesn't play for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightsaidfred Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Does he suck or is he a money or new regime casualty? Frankly, the last I heard of him was that 40 time he ran. He was signed by Al Davis, who would sign anyone who could run fast - regardless of talent, skill or work ethic. I think it is the current regime culling down to actual football players..........

Steel City Falcon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 He already has like 3 or 4 workouts lined up. I think because he was released today he can technically sign with any team that he wants right now. He doesn't have to wait for the FA period to begin next month. But I may be wrong.

jfalconsp Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I saw on ESPN that the Chiefs are reportedly interested in Routt and therefore might let Brandon Carr walk. Wouldn't mind Carr in a Falcons uniform, though he'll probably get paid big elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic Gibbon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Am I the only person who feels comfortable with the CB situation if Grimes leaves? Franks did well in his place despite his first starts coming against the likes of Andre Johnson and Steve Smith, Owens improved as the season went on, and Walls comes off as a Grimes clone. Their upside combined with Nolan's lengthy track record of coaching up DBs leads me to believe that he'll unlock the potential TD saw in them and make the most of their talents where they're needed. To me, all they really need is another CB for depth this season and maybe they can pick up someone to replace Robinson next year if he doesn't improve his game even under Nolan... perhaps Xavier Rhodes?

BlazerHarvard Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Routt had a great year two years ago, however.He appears to be like Eric Wright and MIchael Griffen at this point. Has the talent, but is perhaps up-and-down with his play from one year to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs have a good deal of cap space and there is no way they're going to let Carr go if they don't have to.Chiefs' interest in Routt makes senseBy Bill WilliamsonThursday, we looked at the possibility of cornerback Stanford Routt staying in the AFC West. It appears that one team in the division is indeed considering the idea. SPNDallas.com reported that the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the teams that have interest in Routt, cut Thursday by the Oakland Raiders. Kansas City has yet to arrange a visit with Routt. If the Chiefs sign Routt, that likely means they will allow cornerback Brandon Carr to become a free agent. The Chiefs could yet choose to place the franchise tag on either Carr or receiver Dwayne Bowe. The Chiefs could be comparing the price tags for Carr and Routt; they could also be showing interest in Routt to demonstrate to Carr that they would be willing to go elsewhere. I think it is a smart move for the Chiefs to at least see what Routt is looking for and to give themselves options in case they think Carr will leave. Because there is so much interest in Routt, this process could take some time. In other AFC West news: New Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio talks about adjusting to his new unit in a radio interview. The Chiefs reportedly are interested in a member of the Super Bowl champion Giants for their offensive-line coaching job.Not saying it's going to happen, but the Chiefs could let him go.

FlyHighFalcons Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Routt isn't terrible. You're all selling him well short. He struggled a bit with penalties this year but that entire defense was a complete joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
