Getty ImagesApparently, Stanford Routt saw enough in Houston, and the Texans saw enough from Stanford Routt.
Cancelling a planned trip to Pittsburgh for another workout tomorrow, Routt has signed with the Texans, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
Routt gives the Texans an experienced option, with Brice McClain going on injured reserve and uncertainty over the health of Johnathan Joseph and Alan Ball.
He also may have preferred the familiar surroundings, after growing up in Austin Tex., and playing in college at the University of Houston.

Hope he still has a little in the tank… Going to need all the depth we can get. Especially with a trip to see Tom Brady this week…
Man, I thought were thin at LB but we are SUPER thin at DB….
#nextmanup I guess..
He probably preferred the better team.
Oh no…..the rest of the league trembles in Fear
Duh
No biggie – just stepping in to learn a new defense in 6 days before playing major nickle and dime formation snaps against only the best passing offense in the last gazillion years at their house on MNF outside in December with huge playoff implications on the line – just saying….
It’s unreal how this guy keeps getting contracts. Just unbelievable. What is the record for simultaneous payments from different (former)employers?
That secondary will STILL get lit up by proud papa Brady.
Goes to show, you can be a liability on two different teams yet somehow find your way to a contender and potentially win a Super Bowl.
Have fun with the penalties Texans.
There’s no way Houston wins a Super Bowl now. Lock it up.
The Pats seem to be happy with the Bucs garbage…
What’s the status on Edelman by the way???
So now he’s getting paid by half the AFC West and one fourth of the AFC South. Here’s hoping none of that stink he carries around sticks to your team.
Third team’s the charm?
Wade Phillips>Dennis Allen>Romeo Crennel
Too bad he didn’t at least come talk to the Steelers cause it doesn’t get better than Lebeau.
Next week’s news:
Texans cut Routt
Brady must be drooling on his Uggs after hearing this.
Throw the ball up in the air and Routt will interfere….20-30 yards everytime…
Weak 13 scrap heap is what it is.
Hope he doesn’t have to play…..
Please hurry back Jonathan Joseph
With love, All Texans Fans
Routt wont be asked to do a whole lot. This is a move for depth purposes only. Bringing in a 4th or 5th string corner does not diminish this teams shot at a Super Bowl. Dont have that take. Thats a bad take. And keep in mind I remember hearing and reading a lot of negative comments about the Alan Ball signing, but Wade Phillips plugged him in when needed and its not like Ball was getting torched by anyone not named Calvin Johnson.
In Wade we trust
Texans making all the right moves.
Better option is to go with Houston. At least they have a real shot at winning their division
