I've found that most of the "fans" on Colts social media are six beers short of a six pack.

Especially the facebook comments on the Colts facebook page...my heavens.

Good move IMO. Signals the changing of the guard; lots of good guys and popular players waived, better players and winners brought on. No one's job is safe.

really the only reason I can think of by letting overton go is maybe he wants guys to do more than one thing maybe thinks he could get a guy thats comparable but also contribute somewhere else that way

you dont have a guy taking up a roster spot by just playing LS for us

i concur

I want Adam as long as he's willing to play. I want us to milk the years out of that guy and give him the decency of retiring as a colt. He's the best kicker of all time I think. 

I hope for the same thing.

I remember PFF slammed Overton as well, constantly listing him as "poor starter" year after year. I never knew there was such a thing as a bad long snapper, unless Jonotthan Harrison somehow made his way back on the team.

One Jets game?? Oh my god, he might have made a mistake. We all know any player that makes a mistake needs to be fired.

I didn't cut him, nor am I upset that he was cut. You asked for an example and you got one.

I'd say more about performance, than money.

How does a LS not perform? He's in for like 10 plays a game!

Yes, but just one of those 10 plays go bad and it can get pretty ugly pretty quick.

Thankfully, I don't "do" Facebook. Well, I have a FB profile, which is apparently a requirement in today's society, but at least people need to keep things short and to the point on Twitter.

Had to cut Overton so we can keep the streak of UDFAs making the final roster alive.

Indiana long snapper $900k/yr

 

Hardly seems fair

The first two are Public Servants, paid by the Taxpayers. The third is Privately hired, where the Market decides.  Can't be compared.

It sure would be nice to go far in the playoffs and maybe a Superbowl win to make him an all time Colt.    Although he has been a Colt longer, I think most recognize him as a Patriot first because of his timely kicks with them.  

Yeah it kind of sucks and most people I've noticed obviously give brady all the credit in the world for all his success but nobody seems to remember Adam was the one who had to hit those field goals from a pretty decent distance. Super clutch.

Oh god... You're not one of those people who have zero understanding of basic economics and don't see why professional athletes make more money than doctors/lawyers/military etc are you??
