Football Betting Lines
02/09/2012 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Raiders released cornerback
Stanford Routt on Thursday, just one season after he signed a three-year
contract extension.
The deal guaranteed Routt $20 million over the first two years and was
potentially worth $31.5 million overall.
Routt, who was a second-round pick of the Raiders in 2005, played in 16 games
in 2011, starting 15 and registering 49 tackles and four interceptions.
The move comes under the watch of new general manager Reggie McKenzie. Since
he was hired in early January, McKenzie has made major changes, firing head
coach Hue Jackson and bringing in Dennis Allen, Greg Knapp and Jason Tarver to
act as head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator,
respectively.
