Chiefs wave Stanford Routt

[Ryfo18]

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."

Wow! They have a few more to release though

There's 6 million down the old crapper...

Routt has looked bad this year, and when I say bad I mean abysmal, but I have to say I am a bit shocked that they released him.

Chalk another one up to Pioli...should have kept Carr rather than letting him leave and replacing him with someone that gets cut half way through the year... Well now we need to find a starting QB and CB in the draft.

It wasn't a question of keeping Carr...It just wasn't going to happen b/c of the money involved. The backup plans have been bad though.

Im not up to date on how much money we are under the cap, but if we add that plus the 6 mil we gave to Routt, dont you think we could have been in the running with the Cowboys for Carr?

Carr made it clear after the deal that he was not going to resign with the Chiefs. He wants to go to Dallas and play for his child hood team. It was not a question of money, he wanted out of Kansas City.

You guys just don't seem to get it. These guys are driven by various motivations, not all of them are highest bidder.

No we do get it, we get the fact that players with the exception of Winston don't want to come here, and the players that are here want out.

But 5 years at $50 million helped a lot.
