With the injuries we've had...I like.
Kids has wheels, should help special teams quickly as well.
Feb 2011, The Raiders gave him a 3 year 31 million dollar contract, but he renegotiated so the Raiders could keep him because the Raiders were having a real cap problem. In 15 games, he had 4 interceptions. The Chiefs picked him up and gave him a 20 million dollar 3 year deal this Feb. After missing his last game the end of October, he was released by the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. He had already accumulated 2 interceptions. KC's head coach was not specific in the reasons for the move other than saying the "relationship wasn't progressing as quickly and fast as I wanted it to." Sounds like some personality conflicts.
At 29, he sounds like he still has something in the tank........just ended up on the wrong teams. Could be a very interesting pickup. Remember, before Chris Johnson ran a Combine 4.24 40 (2008), Routt held the fastest run at 4.27 (2005)
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free agent CB Stanford Routt clashed with coaches and missed curfew before being cut by the Chiefs.
Routt was getting torched on the field and not acting professionally off it. He reportedly wanted to use the technique he learned in Oakland instead of adapting to the Chiefs' scheme and Schefter says the coaches there "did not like him." It helps explain why they paid him $6 million to go away two weeks ago.
Routt cleared waivers after being cut by the Chiefs on Monday. The 29-year-old allowed a dreadful 64.1 completion percentage, 491 yards, and three touchdowns in seven games as Kansas City's right corner this year, according to Pro Football Focus. Quarterbacks had an astronomical 111.9 rating throwing at Routt. Miami lost Richard Marshall (back) to injured reserve, Arizona has employed a rotation opposite Patrick Peterson, and Detroit's secondary has been ravaged by injuries. Routt should be able to find a job before season's end.

Some more to ponder.

He's not very good but if they see enough to actually sign him, then I'll trust that they know what they're doing.
Everyone injured recently is coming back. To sign Route, who are we going to cut?
Grimes maybe?
McCain going on IR I don't think a cut will be needed.

I thought they said he might be ready for the play-offs? They're already closing that door?
Doesn't sound very Texans' like.
Is Stanford Routt Houston Texan worthy?

19 M contract in February and outright cut 9 months later, what's with that ?
In 2011 with Oakland Routt's coverage rating (by ProFootballFocus) had him ranked 15/109 CBs who took at least 25% of their team's snaps.
His overall rating was poor, though, due to a league worst penalty rating/ranking: 109/109. I see 17 penalties in 17 games.
Well, I guess we know who to count on for our weekly block in the back penalty on punt returns if he's signed.
Odds are, there would be a block in the back on a return anyway, and they can only penalize us for one of them.
How can players be coached not to block in the back?

Whoever we pick up. I feel that if Vance doesn't think he'll fit they will be stuck on Special Teams duty
Didn't we pick up a street FA not too long ago from KC? Worked out pretty well that time if I remember right. I think he was a DB too.
Tell them "Dont block in the back. Its against the rules!" ??

Routt is one of Al Davis' speed/size draft picks.

The Texans will sign free agent cornerback Stanford Routt.
Nearly half of those penalties were deemed "not a penalty".
Signed
I know one guy Routt can shut down!

He's not looking for the ball.
So does he play Lloyd, Welker or centerfield?
