    Default Chiefs wave Stanford Routt

    He sucked this year, but shocked they cut him:

    From Sam Mellinger:

    "#Chiefs waived Stanford Routt to make room for Shaun Smith, Romeo references "relationship" w/ Routt not progressing. Interesting."

    You guys just don't seem to get it. These guys are driven by various motivations, not all of them are highest bidder.
    But 5 years at $50 million helped a lot.

    These were some bold moves made today. Its very shocking to see Routt go. He had a few INTs, but every team we played, went after him. They seen the weakest link and so did we.

    Congrats to Mr. Gibbs. Hopefully we can win atleast one more. It would be nice to see our CHIEFS win the next 8. But all I want is to beat the broncos. And Geno Smith as our starting QB in 2013

    I agree it is surprising to see him completely cut and not just demoted. I guess it partly had to do with signing Smith. I wouldnt be surprised if there were locker room issues, cut the cancer out all together. The only other thing I can think of is his injury that kept him out last week was more serious, so they cut him.

    I thought Arenas did ok last week. It would be great to see him step up into the #2 CB slot and out of the role of only being a nickel back.

    Agreed. Routt getting cut sent a message to the lockerroom. These moves today clearly reflect Pioli applying pressure on Crennel to make some changes.

    Changes needed to be made, lets hope they help.

    Sounds like they wanted the best chance of being the first to draft this coming draft year.

    Something Pioli should have done LONG LONG Ago. Now he's putting the pressure on Crennel hopefully he's feeling the pressure from Clark It's really needed for this team at this point.
    TopekaRoy is my hero!

    Yeah I was reading about Jim cassel? Giants head coach. I think they were 2 and 6 and special teams had been performing poorly so he cut the MVP of the special teams and said he would keep cutting until performance improved....not the same situation those giants lost to Baltimore in the Super Bowl.

    But this could light a fire under everyone's butt.

    Next years first round draft pick! Oh that is right. No franchise QB, because there isn't one worth taking the risk of giving the number one over all.

    We are taking a qb, or we better. If not all hell will break loose among the KC fan base (as if it has not already)
