Stanford Routt




How do people feel about bringing him in? I know that every time there is a decent cornerback on the market, somebody jumps to argue that we should sign him. I will be that guy this time. He's 29 years old and a good size (6'1",195 lbs.). He has 12 career interceptions with 8 of them being from the 2010-2012. He has struggled this year in Romeo Crennel's defense and has been burnt for a few long plays. But, I feel like he could excel under Gunther's watch. He signed a 3-year, $18 million deal with the Cheifs in the offseason, so I'm not sure we could get him for cheaper than other teams are willing to pay. But, if we can I think he would be an immediate upgrade over someone like Don Carey.
