Had to have been some serious locker room cancer stuff going on. They save no money by cutting him now, and judging by the DB depth chart, that area was not a clear choice for freeing up a roster spot.

General Mismanagement?

Wow. This is crazy. I bet he was tired of getting ass raped every week while the vets are all use to that shit.

I'm not saying Routt is a stud, although Carr was. I'm just baffled by the news with the literal shit we have behind him...

Damn, I can't say I saw this coming at all..

So now we have two slow, 5'9" starting corners, one of the slowest free safeties in the league, who just so happens to take some of the worst angles I've ever witnessed, and Berry, who seems to be in the box 80% of the time?

We were getting burnt before, what's the level of toastyness beyond that?

The 3-4 defense is based on zone coverages, everyone in NFL knew Routt struggles in Zone, forced us to play man 2 man alot more.

The Steelers should just send Wallace and Brown on streak patterns every single route...

This is incredible.

I'm willing to bet we see toasty and crispy levels of suck from the secondary going forward.

I'm trying really hard to trade for Manning. 2 games vs. craptastic Chiefs defense...

I've been out of town. is this a joke or is this serious?

lol 100 percent real

Without a doubt or they would have just benched him. Thanks for letting Carr go to Dallas Scooter, you dipshit.

Here's the deal for me:

I don't give a flying shit that Routt was cut.

He was garbage. Pioli made a reactionary move after the loss of Carr and in typical Pioli fashion, made the wrong move.

The move to cut him, in and of itself, shows that Pioli is truly scared for his job and wants to appear like a rational guy to possible future employers.

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

Why would Clark give a guy the permission to cut one of his highest paid employers?

he either killed someone or Pioli really wants the number 1 pick
