Kansas City cut CB Stanford Routt, who signed a three-year deal with team in the offseason. Routt was supposed to replace Brandon Carr, who the Chiefs didn't make much effort to sign. They got Routt for less money, but his play has been one of the many disappointments in Kansas City; the Chiefs just didn't have a better alternative. Routt sat out Thursday's loss at San Diego because of a hamstring injury, and Travis Daniels and Javier Arenas took his place at the right corner spot. According to Pro Footbal Focus, Daniels and Arenas were targeted nine times and Philip Rivers completed all nine of those passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. Source: CBSSports
Posted this in the other thread too. The good teams find a way to sign "their own" instead of letting them walk as they did with Carr and tried to replace him with Routt. Obviously, just not the right move...at all.
