KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A person familiar with the situation tells The
Associated Press that the Kansas City Chiefs and cornerback Stanford Routt have
agreed to terms on a $19.6 million, three-year deal.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity Monday because the team had
not announced the deal, said the agreement includes a $4 million signing bonus
and $6 million the first season.

Routt is still owed $5 million next month from the Raiders, who released him
after the first year of a $54.4 million, five-year deal. Routt chose the Chiefs
over competing offers from Buffalo, Cincinnati, Houston, New Orleans, Minnesota
and Tennessee.

Routt will likely take over for Brandon Carr, who will become a free agent.
Signing Routt means the Chiefs are more likely to use the franchise tag on wide
receiver Dwayne Bowe instead of Carr.
