Routt, who signed with the Chiefs after being cut by the Raiders in the offseason, started seven games and made two interceptions for the season. He signed a three-year, $19.6 million deal with Kansas City, pocketing a $4 million signing bonus. He’ll be entitled to receive the balance of his $1.8 million base salary as termination pay — unless someone claims him on waivers. Either way, Routt will get the rest of his 2012 pay.
Factoring in $5 million he received from the Raiders in guaranteed money despite being cut, it’s been a pretty good year for Routt.
Apart from being cut twice.
