Raiders release CB Stanford Routt

[Deus Irae]

Interesting for its potential impact upon another FA CB, Routt has reportedly signed with the Chiefs:

The source says it’s a three-year deal worth just under $20 million.

That’s less than $5 million more than Routt ultimately earned for one year in Oakland.

Sounds about right, and makes me more sure of my (theoretical) approach to this years F.A. which is to get the WR and S.

Obviously, time will show us what BB does, and he'll probably do something like spend big money on a QB in free agency, just to piss us all off.

And the dreaded and inevitable CB pick in the 2nd round of the draft :bricks:
