Routt started seven games this season for the Chiefs before he was released on Nov. 5.
The Chiefs agreed to terms on a $19.6 million, three-year deal with Routt on Monday, which should help Kansas City absorb the potential loss of Brandon Carr. The deal includes a $4 million signing bonus and $6 million the first season, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms of the contract were not announced.|||||||
Routt is still owed $5 million next month from the Raiders, who released him after the first year of a $54.4 million, five-year deal. The $11 million Routt will make in 2012 puts him among the three highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.
Routt was released on Thursday just one year into a $54.5 million, five-year contract, ending his seven-year tenure in Oakland as the team heads in a new direction.|||||||
Routt became the first player casualty under the new regime with the Raiders. The move by new general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen signifies a change of approach from when the late Al Davis ran the team and was fiercely loyal to players he drafted.
