2012 NFL Free Agency: Stanford Routt Agrees to Terms with Chiefs

Photo

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Stanford Routt has reached an agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs. PFT is reporting that the deal is for $20 million over 3 years. It was reported right after Routt was released by the Oakland Raiders that he was going to visit the Titans, but that visit never happened.

Obviously the Titans don't really have a need for Routt, especially at that number, if Cortland Finnegan is still on the team. While it still looks likely that Finny will be out the door, Jim Wyatt tweeted earlier today that the two sides are talking.

This also probably means that Brandon Carr of the Chiefs is going to hit the open market. He will command a lot of money, so he is not someone the Titans will probably target, but it does mean the free agent pool at corner is going to be a little bit deeper. That could help the Titans if they are going to target a second-tier guy.

1/3rd of our cap space is too expensive - but the Titans seemed like they were entertaining the idea

that is until C.Finn decided he wanted to be one of the top 5 highest paid CBs in the league.

And there’s other teams out there right now that would definitely be willing to pay him that money. Apparently we’re not one of them.

...

Players get big pay days if they’re very skilled at their position.
Players that are very skilled at their position help their team win games.
Teams that don’t pay very skilled players a lot of money end up losing those players to team that are willing to pay them that money.
Teams that lose their skilled players also lose the help in winning games that they provide.

So yes. Not giving players the money that they’re worth and letting them go to other teams when those players help us win games, means that we probably won’t win as many games.

The two are connected. It’s foolish to deny that.

the NFL doesn’t work like that, you aren’t going to find a Julius Peppers or a Mike Wallace in every free agency class. winning games in pro football is built around the acquisition and retention of stars, most teams never give theirs a chance to leave and if they do happen to leave, 31 other teams also miss out on the chance to sign them, so the Titans are in good company.

while we’re at it though, who would be the last big name player that the Patriots, Giants, or Packers signed?

They now how to make moves in the draft!

Check the Patriots years of drafting…See how they always end up with multiple 1st and 2nd round draft picks! Along with Giants…who always sign big name wide outs until they find good ones! And pass rushers! O and the Pack do the same! These three teams address their weaknesses! I would add that the Pack made a mistake dropping valuable defenders this year and that is why they missed the super bowl!

Just funny how one not great year makes you think...

CJ not worth his money? When he’s the only guy to rush for 2,000 yards in IDK how long and he has rushed for over 1,000 yards every season he has been here! Even with how bad he looked at times this year he still was up there with the top backs of the year! So you already know that if we patch the center of our O-line then he will probably run another 2,000 yards or damn close to it unless we sign another big wideout!

by datboybevans on Feb 20, 2012 5:51 PM CST up reply actions  

never said he wasn’t worth his money. right now he’s not, and to be worth it he’d pretty much have to be 1600+ with double digit touchdowns and 500+ yards receiving every year from here on out, but hey, he’s a good player, it could happen. but no, he was absolutely not up there with the top backs this year.

by datboybevans on Feb 20, 2012 6:04 PM CST up reply actions  

I was actually looking at the rosters of the Giants and Pats earlier, intending to do a fan post.

I decided I didn’t have time, BUT…

The Patriots, for example, have only made a couple of “big name” free agent acquisitions that contributed significantly. On this last team, only really two of their key contributors had significant careers elsewhere before signing with the Pats. The bulk of their team is either draft picks or free agents they picked up off the scrap pile, most of whom had never started a game in the NFL. Just something to note.

I think in general, we get way too caught up in signing big free agents, and we get pissed when it doesn’t happen, but it seems to me that the winning teams seem to build with the draft, and the big name free agents are often best used as help getting over the hump—not as a means of building a foundation.

I’d rather see us sign quality/cheap guys, draft well, and worry about landing a big free agent when we’re on the verge of breaking through.

when we signed them, they were big names, them sucking when they got here has nothing to do with their perception at the time of the signing.

we're gonna skate to one song and one song only.

Givens was not good!

And if you watch the Patriots you can see why! He was a system wideout! Crumpler was old! Washington was not good he was just fast! A lot of those other guys shouldn’t have even been mentioned! Hass is straight he served his purpose!

So instead of wasting all this effort

playing whack-a-mole here, why not go off and make a list of:

- Every FA the Titans have signed in the past x years that had been to at least one pro bowl prior to the signing.
- A similar list for six or seven other teams.

Discuss and Compare. Then you are contributing something interesting instead of breaking people’s scroll bars….

Pick some objective criteria to compare rather than “grumble grumble Titans signing suck other teams’ don’t”

Finding the lists of FA signings for several teams for several years

would be the hard part – not sure they all have them up on their sites, and I didn’t find any central listing of offseason signing for past years for all teams.

Travis Henry had 2 1,300+yard - double digit TD seasons before coming here

and then had a 1,200 yard 7 TD season while here…

at least Rivers was prolific from a yardage and TD standpoint, putting Dalton was basically like putting Hass in and calling it a day.

point is, there are a lot of selections we can point to that make it obvious that the Pro Bowl and its’ fan vote are a joke.

Fascinating

Over that time period, it does look like we lose more than we sign.

I’d love to see this for all teams – see the trend. Including players of your own that entered FA but you ended up retaining.

We let a lot of good players walk, but it always seems to be at just the right time

most of the FA we let walk from here, their best days were in a Titans uniform.

Mawae - 2,000 yard rusher as a center

Alge – 2,000 yard rusher as a TE
Scott – 2,000 yard rusher and on one of the best pass blocking lines in the league
T. Henry – 1,200 yard season, 7TDs
KVB- MegaBad ass, resurrected his career, 38.5 sacks while here.
Nate Washington – just recorded first 1,000 yard season – 19 TDs while here
Matt Hasselbeck – revitalized the Titans passing attack, first 3,500 yard season in almost 10 years since #9 – perfect mentor for our future franchise QB.

basically, shut up.

Mawae- I stated he was good and should have stayed!
Scott-Is not good! Just because your on the team doesn’t mean your good!
T. Henry-CJ did basically the same this year! On his “as you say” horrible year!
KVB- Never said he wasn’t good and I was pissed when they didn’t resign him! I said we had a handful of good FA pick ups!
Nate Washington- Finally plays worth something!
Matt Hasselbeck- I mentioned above did what he was brought here to do!
ALGE- Sucked horribly here!

Hmm

Scott was good for a while, not so much last year, oh well
You said CJ is great, so if T.Henry did what CJ did this year isn’t that good? And also it didn’t cost $30M

My guess is...

None of you can read! I said list the Big name free agents! And only a handful of the guys listed were actually big name guys in my book! Big name players are actually threats that can instantly make the team better not contribute a little! In other words ELITE PLAYERS! Randy Moss was the only ELITE PLAYER NAMED and we didn’t even put him on the damn field!
