He's a goner and he knows it. Now, we do, too.

To be clear, Routt was signed before free agency began. He wasn't a reaction to losing Carr, he was a preemtive replacement because they knew they wouldn't keep Carr.
With Routt's deal, it would have been feasible to tag Carr and let the two battle for the '13 roster spot. But that would have required inking Bowe.
