    Any news on Routt?

    I know it's early (visiting today) but don't we usually hear something on twitter? Any word?


    Oh wait, no one wants to play for Buffalo so we might as well not even ask players to visit. There, I said for you so all you Op-like commenters don't have to respond (Although I will say at the beginning of the season it was nice to see Op become a little more positive).

    It was reported Routt will visit a number of teams. I expect him to do that before he signs with anyone. The fact so many teams are interested in him, does not look good for Buffalo.

    I agree it was nice to see Op be positive.

      I don't know much about him but with that being said I know enough about our current CB's to know he'd be an upgrade.

        Routt sounds like a good name for a Bills defender

            After reading up on him, I'm not so sure I'd want him on this team. He got penalized 17 times, and gave up on 8 td passes last year. That's a lot for a veteran CB who got paid by the Raiders like he did. Maybe it's why he was cut. JMO

              Will not too excited. Rarely does a guy visit multiple teams and end up signing in Buffalo. However, the agent loves using Buffalo as leverage against another team.

                Ralph picked him up in his Taurus. He told him he loved that TV show he was on "Stanford and Son." They got lost going to OBD, winding up driving through the Delta Sonic three times. Routt took the cab back to the airport.

                    Routt is a good CB. But the Raiders are very stubborn with their Man to man defense and refuse to play zone ever. Their defense struggled like ours to get to the QB and that is disaster when you're man to man and leads to TDs and penalties.

                    He's not Nnamdi but he is better than any CB we have.

                      One thing Routt has is speed. He is a track guy who ran one of the fastest combine times ever. He flies.

                        Delta Sonic is a car wash. You must not be from Buffalo

                          Agreed.

                          Routt would definitely be an upgrade in the secondary.

                          Kinda shocked the Raiders got rid of him, to be honest.

                            Im not. Routt was paid because he was Davis' vision of the next Nnamdi, he's fast and is over 6 ft.

                            Yes he is a good CB but new management probably don't feel he is worth 10 mil. I expect many of their high priced vets to be released soon.

                            Seymour could be next, maybe Tommy Kelly.

                              While he's not Nnamdi obviously, he's still a good corner.

                              In this league good corners are hard to come by and get paid accordingly.

                              That's why I'm surprised they got rid of him.
