Solid player but I do like the fact we are getting younger. Free Agency should be interesting.

Thanks for all the roles you played for us, Joe. Good luck with retired life!!!

 

Hope your head and feet are in good shape to enjoy the rest of your life.

Good luck Joe!  He was a fine UDFA pick up by Polian who provided Indy with a "swiss army knife" kind of presence with his ability to play blocking TE, LT, RT, LG and RG.  A valuable depth player indeed.

That leaves us with Goode, Blythe and Harrison. None are starters but may provide decent backup. I hope they don't neglect pass rush for OL. Maybe 6th or 7th round or another FA ?

Harrison still needs to be re-signed if they want to keep him...

Best wishes to you in your next chapter in life big fella! Thank you for giving your all, and representing the "Shoe" with class.

Joe has been a good player for the Colts very versatile. He also has a knack for getting injured, which I think keep him from reaching his full potential. Thanks for all you gave the Colts Joe, I am a fan. With that said, the way Haag has come on I think he is the new younger version of Reitz.

I know right? Some people just don't get it. A nice thank you to Joe for leaving it on the field every time he stepped out there and always doing what the Colts needed to the best of his ability. That is what Reitz deserves. Everyone can't be in the HOF. They can still be an important part of the Colt family. Thanks Joe
