[TKnight24]

I'm thinking I'll finish around 30 out of 53 as far as my guessing of the final roster goes. This is exciting though.

[jameszeigler834]

That stinks I was hoping Mcmanus would make it.

Great leg but he had a zero chance. Too bad we couldn't keep him just for kick offs.

[MFT5]

NOOO Teddy Williams

[buccolts]

Also, it'd be a bit unusual to target first cuts for the PS, wouldn't it?

[Smonroe]

Okay, who are the next three?

[Smonroe]

Not necessarily. They clear waivers and then you know you'll be able to get them for the PS. Other teams are also too busy making cuts to pick anyone up.

[buccolts]

NOOO Teddy Williams

 

Yeah, I agree. Odd that after going through the whole cryogenics thing, he'd decide to come back and try a sport he was never good at in his first life.

 

Or was this the homeless guy with the golden voice?

[PrincetonTiger]

No Big Shockers

[crazycolt1]

No Big Shockers

I agree. No cuts were unexpected as far as I can see. The next three might be a little more interesting.

Cut tracker on here, of those cut from other teams: Ramon Harewood and Tommy Streeter are people I would like to pick up.

maybe because I doubt we're gonna resign a 42 year old kicker

[Dustin]

Then we just pick up a new one of the FA market next year.

[BronxColtNYC]

It usually a good thing when a player who made final roster last year didn't survive 1st round cuts (heard) that or he took a step back which I felt he didn't.

People loved them some Tommy Streete in the draft a couple years ago. Never understood why, the guy stinks.

Not that what you suggest doesn't make some sense , but I can't recall too many PKs placed on the PS. 

[Dustin]

Josh Cribbs is going to be released from Oakland. He'd make a great KR.

[BrentMc11]

No LOL at all....he was a weapon, and Will be a cker in this league.   AV is still kicking well, and some like to look to the future.....42, 43 44....AARP  

 

I hope some way we can keep McManus in our plans....

 

No surprise whatsoever on Prime.  He was cut early in camp and brought back same day due to injury.  Harvey saw his first action last night.  He is our best LB on Special teams (He may not make the team as you say)...although last night Conner did some real nice things.     !!  

 

No TRUE surprises however.

[coltsfanatic24]

Sheldon Price should make the team, he's the only CB other then Vontae and Toler that has the size and speed to play on the outside.

[GoColtsGo5150]

He's 6ft5, runs a 4.37 and really with brazil's suspension, we only have 4 decent WRs, we will need someone to fill in. Him or chris owusu if the bucs release him.

It doesn't matter if VInatieri is 50... if he can still kick (like he's doing now), then the Colts don't have to cut him. Next year's draft is filled with some great kickers and there 5 solid kickers on the market in FA next year.

 

We definitely don't have to keep McManus in our plans, although he's not bad and I wouldn't mind seeing him on the PS, but it's not a must to keep him, especially considering that AV is looking the way he is.

I'm aware of of his measurables.....doesn't change the fact that he stinks

You are more than welcome

He has to show something in practice.  His coverage against the Bills was nonexistent.  I had been rooting for him, and Allen Chapman was playing better in games, and he just got cut.  He MUST be showing something in practice???  I personally am amazed Price did not get cut...he has been lost in this defense to this point.

His middle name Blanda?  

[Andy]

It doesn't make sense to bring him in when the Colts have to cut 25 more players before the end of next week.

 

He doesn't know the system, he doesn't really have any special teams value, he has some injury problems, and wouldn't challenge for much playing time.

 

It would be useless to bring him in because most of the receivers now are better and more valuable than he would be. 

 

Now isn't the time to start looking for some players to sign, but rather figuring out who to cut. 

[GoColtsGo5150]

Some could say the same about DHB when we signed him. You could be right but then again he could be quite dangerous with luck at QB

[Drewbacca]

If you're wanting anyone from other teams cuts, look at the Hawks. Most depth of any team in the NFL.

He has a ton of potential, 6'2 CB with 4.4 speed is rare. He was nonexistent vs Bills but he played a lot better vs Giants and Browns. With the right coaching i think he could be a good CB.

[Dark Superman]

Darn. No Mike McGylnn?

[NewEra]

No I don't think he did either. Just shows you how mucho we've improved out d line. Awesome!

[csmopar]

If we pick up anyone, I'm think a T . With AC hurt and our other line issues, wouldnt hurt to pick up a spare. But I dont think we really need to pick up anyone.

[krunk]

Well at least Ijalana was not cut.  Maybe there is still hope.  I think he should definitely be kept as one of the backups.

[Gavin]

This could take a while, there is much more to it then evaluating and saying so and so will be cut, Some of these players avoid the guy that is sent to tell them that they are cut like a plague if said player knows he is on the bubble......But from what I understand the player has to report by a certain time

[esmort]

Looks like Zibkowski was among the first cuts by the bears.
