Any news on Routt?

[Mindbender]

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).:biggrin:

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.

[DrGraves]

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.

[Bill Cody]

Routt sounds like a good name for a Bills defender

[clumping platelets]

I just saw him at Mighty Taco on Walden Ave!!!

[Extremebillsfan247]

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

[don137]

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.

We all know Ralph prefers the Denny's to Sonic...

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.

[Ickybaluky]

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.

[clumping platelets]

Seymour is going no where......he has guaranteed salary for 2012

[better days]

I just saw him at Mighty Taco on Walden Ave!!!

Well, if he is a Taco lover, he is as good as signed.

[Ickybaluky]

Kelly does seem likely to be cut, but Seymour isn't going anywhere.

Seymour has half of his $15M base for 2012 guaranteed when he signed the deal. They then had an early trigger this year for the remaining salary to be guaranteed. That trigger was about a week ago, so his entire $15M base is guaranteed in 2012. They rightly decided it was wiser to pay him $15M this year to play for them than pay him $7.5M this year to play for someone else.

With his salary fully guaranteed he isn't getting cut.

makes sense...

[NOT THE DUDE...]

i wonder if ralph took him to burger king?

McDonald's has the $0.79 coffee

Clump already reported Mighty Taco. Burger King is everywhere in the Country. Mighty Taco is only in Buffalo & is the BEST. GOD I wish I could get Mighty Taco in Fla.

Cost $1.00 for coffee at McDonalds in Venice Fla for any size.

Kinda figured that when i found out he was from the Raiders.

[The Spaz]

V-Text says he's here now and visiting.

[ublinkwescore]

maybe Merriman and Florence can convince him to cancel his other appointments.

[methos4ever]

Good article breaking down his TDs allowed http://www.raiders.ninjagoro.com/2012/01/stanford-routts-2011-season-part-3-the-touchdowns/

Add Barnett to that group as well.

[T-Long]

I really gotta check out this Mighty Taco place...

If you have never been to Mighty Taco, make sure to get a Super Mighty Taco when you go there..............the BEST. The Walden Ave location is not that far from the Stadium.

[YardRat]

That means nothing.

[BloFan4Life]

...and then immediately find a bathroom.

Sounds like a personal issue. I have never had any problem with that at Mighty Taco myself.

I can get a reasonable facsimile of Buffalo wings, Beef on Weck, Teds hot dogs or a Buffalo Friday fish fry down here on the West Coast of Fla, but NOTHING comes close to Mighty Taco. Like I said wish I could get them here & they are the food I miss most about Buffalo but I have to say I also miss Buffalo pizza...............not duplicated down here either.

If the Bills are relying on a has been and a mediocre ageing veteran as their "recruiters" they are screwed.

[Bangarang]

He never said it meant anything.

Yeah, probably so. I'm sure there are also new locations since I was last in Buffalo.

it's def. the reason he was cut I think what we have is better we just need pressure on the QB's instead of giving them all day to find their targets

There's one on Southwestern. (http://www.mightytaco.com/locations.php)

You guys get pissed at Florence when he gets those stupid penalties? This guy is twice as bad.
