If Nix is healthy they should try him out.

A 3rd rounder and only lasted a year? Wow.

[SDakColts]

A 3rd rounder and only lasted a year? Wow.

Yeah not only a 3rd rounder I am pretty sure there was buzz he was going to go in the 1st round just an injury pushed him down to the 3rd.

[TKnight24]

Nix from Notre Dame?

[Everyone]

Nix from Notre Dame?

Yep

[PeterBowman]

A 3rd rounder and only lasted a year? Wow.

Has to be health related.

[Everyone]

Has to be health related.

From everything I've read he's healthy, he just hasn't played well.

Yep

Didn't he have knee problems or something? I remember the forum being upset that I think the Texans got him and we didn't

But then again it's alot of ND fans on this forum

He fell in the draft because of a knee injury i think and he missed a lot last year. He was reportedly healthy for all of camp and preseason though. seems to early to give up on a guy who hasn't played much.

Could be worth a look, at least bring him in for a workout

He missed ALL of last year. 57 snaps in the preseason, nothing in the regular season.

Still, If he's healthy now he's worth looking at.

He started all four games, so I assume he's healthy. They didn't waive-injured him, they just waived him. So I guess it's just performance.

yeah, it's a little premature to cut a guy having only played 4 preseason games and had 1 full camp in his pro career.

The forum will be easier to navigate through, but this thread will not.  I'm thinking we should have a dedicated "cuts" thread that is only for colt players that are cut.

That was my intent of this thread. I figured there was already a cut thread in the NFL general section. I barely click over there so didn't know. But this was intended to be colts only

Right, and I understand that.  I quoted you just to reiterate what your intent of the thread was.  

[backshoulderfade]

No matter how you slice Nix's situation, he got cut 1 year into a 3rd round rookie contract. That is the reddest of flags.

[TKnight24]

Right, and I understand that. I quoted you just to reiterate what your intent of the thread was.

I know. Just saying my intent can be one thing, freedom to post another. I could literally say Colt cuts only, but memebers post another teams cuts. Freedom to post, is freedom to post (within the forum rules)

[Everyone]

My fault sorry, I posted other cuts.

It's cool. Just know I'm not sharing my apple juice with you. One game suspension for you!

[akcolt]

It is totally his health. He had knee problems at ND and then the wrist injury sent him to the IR last year. I am a die hard Irish fan and love Nix but if they are cutting him I am guessing he isn't recovery well from the injuries he suffered. He struggled with weight after the knee injuries as well.

Don't worry... TK posted news about Shady McCoy in this thread too, which was pretty out of left field.  It happens to the best of people

[Jason_]

That's true.  But moderators can.  Perhaps the mods could open an Official thread for Colt's related cuts only.

 

[SDakColts]

I also am starting to think that Nix was released due to performance alone. He had knee problems, but nothing extreme just tendinitis and a torn meniscus all pretty easy to come back from compared to other injuries.

[Jason_]

I remember the uproar around here when the Colts declined to draft Nix. lol

[TKnight24]

What's taking so long?

At least Adongo & Bryan Bennett should've been cut by now

[TKnight24]

Ok, apparently the cuts aren't happening until tomorrow

With roster cuts happening tomorrow, here's a look at the current 75 man roster:http://t.co/Ri4XKm76PV pic.twitter.com/QDcJMTxGZ4

I could see Adongo back on the PS this year. He's got the speed down etc. He just doesn't have any moves to use. Use this time and the offseason for him to learn a couple moves and counter moves and he might make an impact.

[Superman]

They have another 24 hours to make these cuts.

 

I think last year, all the cuts were announced at once by the team. They didn't trickle out.

I don't expect anything till almost the last minute, Not expecting anything today, Has not been Grigsons Mo for the most part, He likes to take his time and get a long hard look...Not to mention injuries compound the situation somewhat so its not as easy as...This guy stunk he is gone or that guy did not produce your gone

[Jason_]

 so its not as easy as...This guy stunk he is gone or that guy did not produce your gone

 

You clearly have never read any posts on this forum because, duh, that's exactly how easy it is.

 

lol

 

ps. in case it wasn't clear..that was sarcasm

Not every cut is easy, but there are easy ones

Like Bryan Bennett

Patterson

Casey

Just to name a few

[buccolts]

Also, releasing all names at the last second, leaves them out there as little time as possible to be noticed.

Thinking today that with injuries and rookies starting to emerge many of the @Colts 2015 draft picks could see critical roles in Week One…
