In somewhat of a surprise, the Oakland Raiders are expected to give restricted free agent cornerback Stanford Routt the high tender of a first-round pick and a third-round pick.

According to Scout.com, Routt is expected to receive that level of compensation.

He would be paid a one-year tender of $3.268 million.

Routt is known for having a good size-speed combination, which are always welcome attributes in Raiders owner Al Davis' world.
