Report: Chiefs, Routt agree to 3-year deal

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chiefs and free-agent cornerback Stanford Routt have agreed to a deal.

Since the Raiders and Routt parted ways on February 9th, the cornerback was free to negotiate before the start of free agency, which begins on March 13th at 4 p.m. Routt had signed a five-year, $54.5 million contract with the Raiders last offseason.

Per Pro Football Talk, Routt's deal with the Chiefs is for three years and worth roughly $20 million. Before agreeing to a deal with the Chiefs, Routt had also visited with the Bills and Bengals.

Although he set a career high in interceptions (four) last year, Routt also led the NFL in penalties (17).
