The #Chiefs just cut Stanford Routt? Remember when he was Brandon Carr's long term replacement... #Piolied

Cutting Routt does give Pioli some more cap space to not re-sign Dwayne Bowe with.

Chiefs waive Routt, promote Gibbs. This is like thinking a new balloon whisk will solve my wife's poor cooking.

Routt and Defensive coordinator are definitely the reason our offense has not lead all year and caused all the turnovers...

— Chiefs Coalition (@Chiefscoalition) November 5, 2012

This season Routt has been thrown at 39 times, allowed 25 recs (64.1%), for 491 yards, 3 TDs. 267 of those yards after catch.

Said one front-office personnel man in Audibles today: "(Stanford) Routt can't cover himself up at night." More here: bit.ly/Snw8ri

Chiefs sign Stanford Routt to a $18 million contract in February, waive him today. Defense not the problem. Another hit to KC front office.

To any team that claims Stanford Routt off waivers: Remember, he has a $10 option bonus in 2013.

Sorry Routt did not look or act like a guy who wanted to be here. Not signing Carr is now added to mistakes under Pioli's watch. #Chiefs

Routt goes on waivers today, can be claimed tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. ET.
