Not often do owners extend players they've signed in the same off-season. Apparently they wanted to restructure his contract to lessen his cap hit for this year so they extended him an extra two years to prorate the bonus longer. In doing this Al Davis added on another 2 years at 11.5mil per. Overall hes getting almost 11mil a year, more then what Jonathan Joseph got and only 1mil off of Nnamdi.

Raiders CB Stanford Routt has restructured his three-year, $31.5 million contract.With the Raiders over the salary cap, Routt has reportedly "(reallocated ) the majority" of his $10 million 2011 base salary into a roster bonus. As payback, the Raiders have added two years to his deal and bumped its total value to an incredible $54.5 million. It's currently unclear if it includes any new guaranteed money, however.
 
he had to , they needed the cap room and after Seymour they had no other options...Routt had a great year last year but he is about 6 million dollars a year over paid...

another Al Davis clusterfuck....
