Raiders release CB Stanford Routt

[jsull87]

He is a starting caliber NFL corner back. I don't see why there would be negativity about signing him. We need help in the secondary i don't think there is denying that. He seems to be a solid vet corner back, maybe he can be what we hopped we would have in bodden.

don't sweat it...most of the hysterics have killed themselves by now............

 

[MP-Logick]

If he can clean up the penalties, sign him to a 2 year/$4-6 million deal.

He'll cost a lot more than that...

And the rest went into the draft forum...

if the pats sign Welker and one of or both Carter and Anderson they wont have that much cap space to spend on biger name players they will sign a few JAG's about 2 or 3 days into free agency and use one of there #1's on a DB and trade the other

And the rest went into the draft forum...

Probably because we find it more constructive than talking about Gronks naked torso.

Respect the dead. I doubt we'll sign a FA corner back. I actually think we shouldn't. Use the money for actual obvious needs.

Sign the beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see Tracy Porter or Terrell Thomas. Thomas should be fairly inexpensive coming off an injury. He was about to have a breakout season in my opinion and i know that several of the giants players said during preseason that he was going to be a pro bowler. I doubt we would go after Routt though, im sure Belicheck has several other db's that wants to take a look at.

Respectfully disagree. The Patriots have missed so often drafting DBs, that maybe it makes sense to sign a player you already know can play in the NFL.

 

[BlueThunder]

There are some positions that BB just isn't good at drafting....

I'd say DB and WR are two of them.......Jury is still out on RB with Ridley and Vereen we'll take the wait and see approach.....

His is decent drafting in the trenches however...

Up until last year his TE drafting has been spotty..

 

[Tunescribe]

I'd probably prefer to take a look at his now former teammate, Tyvon Branch. Then again, I'm not looking at McCourty as a safety.

A Pats player named Ty Branch? That's in the neighborhood of BenJarvis Green-Ellis and Jarvis Green. Too confusing.

 

[Kid~Brady]

Too many penalties for my liking.

I'll take the occasional penalty rather than give up 400+ yards per game

OT: CB Stanford Routt Remains In Kansas City

We told you a couple of days ago that former Oakland Raiders CB Stanford Routt would be meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday.
It looks as if the meeting went well.

According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, Routt is still in KC for a second day of interviews with the Chiefs.

This is significant news in my view. If the Chiefs weren’t seriously considering signing Routt, I doubt they’d have him hang around for a second day. In fact, sometimes when a free agent hangs around town for an extra day it is because the team is having him go through a physical. If that is the case, a signing could come soon after. Like today.

Does this mean CB Brandon Carr is/will be available?

Re: OT: CB Stanford Routt Remains In Kansas City

I doubt it. According to one website KC is 25-30 mil. under the projected cap. Their two biggest UFA's are Carr and Bowe. I think they could easily fit in Bowe, Carr and Routt. That certainly would give them a good #1 & #2 combo at CB.

Re: OT: CB Stanford Routt Remains In Kansas City

BJGE may be heading there as well as word out is that KC is short on RBs and may be after his services.

From Chiefsplanet:

Petro has said a couple of times today that he's hearing Carr is asking for SIGNIFICANTLY more money than the Chiefs gave Flowers...

Chiefs Stanford Routt Will Visit Chiefs Today - Page 16 - ChiefsPlanet

The Kansas City Chiefs signed cornerback Brandon Flowers to a five-year contract extension, according to the NFL Network and The Kansas City Star. NFL Network reports the deal is worth $50 million, with $22 million guaranteed.

I wouldn't mind taking a stab at Carr. Dunno if his contract demands are practicable, though.

You're forgetting about a man named Brandon Flowers. You know, the guy that's better than Carr.

I would have thought just the opposite; they have Jamaal Charles, Jackie Battle, Dexter McCluster, Thomas Jones, Le'Ron McClain and probably one or two others I can't remember. Jones is probably gone due to his age and Battle is a free agent, but I don't know how much they want to spend on another RB when they have Charles.

Other than whatever decision they are going to make at QB, it seems to me the Chiefs biggest needs are on both lines; there's nothing special on the OL other than RG Jon Asamoah and nothing special on the DL other than DE Glenn Dorsey. Even though they are well under the cap that's a lot of roster spots that could use upgrading.

As for BJGE reportedly the Pats have had some discussion on a new deal, not that that means anything.
