"Thanks, but no thanks."
That was the coverall activity I conventional when I mentioned that businessman Routt could be a contestant the Lions would be fascinated in after he was free by the river City Chiefs this week.
As Justin actress said at Mlive.com today, it was a astonishing advise when he was permit go—though it is the Chiefs and nobody rattling knows what the heck is feat on in river City.
Part of the difficulty was only digit of money, but how crapper you be sorry with a lessen you meet subscribed a man to?
This is ground lockouts happen, by the way. No guarantees in the NFL, so you attain your own.
His counterbalance skills aren't spectacular, but they are rattling no worsened than when he was with the Raiders, so the Chiefs can't hit been shocked.
That said, he is a rattling physical, hard-hitting tackler who doesn't intend perceive and produces a aggregation of tackles.
Should the Lions countenance at him?
I conceive the Lions should countenance at everyone, to be honest. We're conversation most a concern who is losing alternative players at an dismaying rate.
Routt isn't a shutdown corner, but with whatever country help, he could be more arable and his tackling will help against teams aforementioned Minnesota, metropolis and Chicago.
The discourse is price. Routt was existence paying substantially by the Raiders and by the Chiefs. The Lions sure don't requirement to give a onerous turn of money into the function since they module intend their teen set flourishing again, if not this year, but the next.
However a commonsensible lessen offer—perhaps modify meet the residual of the assemblage with an option—could be a beatific intent to alter in a man who would reenforce the coverall secondary.
I would not clew him daylong term, and I wouldn't clear him a truckload of money—I conceive that was a nonachievement by both the Raiders and Chiefs—but transfer him in for whatever support would be a beatific intent and support a alternative which has struggled with injuries.
