Colts waive John Boyett

[TKnight24]

Via my Colts app on my android phone. I'll see if I can find a link for you guys

Happy Tuesday Colts Family

Edit: @KBowenColts: The Colts have waived rookie safety John Boyett from the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list.

[TKnight24]

Guess that didn't take long smh

[HungarianColtsFan]

Not surprised.

 

Threatening police officers...yelling "You can't arrest me, I'm a colts player." Very unclassy.

[Smonroe]

Boyett:  "You can't waive me, I'm a Colts player!"

[NewEra]

Yeah, can't let that crap start happening. Nip it in the bud. Already bad enough with brazil and lefeged

[HungarianColtsFan]

Boyett:  "You can't waive me, I'm a Colts player!"

 

Right on, sir!

[TKnight24]

Grigson didn't hesitate to do this. Guess we do have a zero tolerance somewhat here.

[HungarianColtsFan]

BTW! Was Lefeged suspended or can he play on Sunday???

 

Any info anyone?

[lollygagger8]

Is it me paying attention more, or is the wave of crime creeping into to the Colts camp more this year?  

[TKnight24]

Really not sure. I don't even know if he went to court for the charges yet. I'll see if I can find some info on that

It's a new generation out here lollygagger, that's all there is to say

I've got the feeling, that there is more trouble with players this year. I can't recall anything like this from last off-season.

[ColtsPacersfan]

Great Job Grigs! Not surprised and I am glad that they released him though, we really don't need these kind of character issues on our team. I

Okay, can't find anything so I assume Lefeged barring injury will be a go this season no suspension

[schwamm]

I had high hopes for Boyett. Bummer.

I suspect there was a lack of contrition. Otherwise it's hard to explain the severity of quickly cutting him while Brazill and Lefeged escaped similar fates.

[NewEra]

Yes I agree. Guess sometimes you have to take a chance with more talented guys that may be more head cases. Just hope we nip it in the bud and not let it get out of control. I'm fine with giving guys a chance but I'd keep them on a short leash.

I think he would "survive" this situation if he hadn't threatened police officers and said that infamous sentence, why he couldn't have been arrested. But this is only my guess.

[Valpo2004]

That certainly did not take long.  

[HungarianColtsFan]

Thanks.

 

I haven't found anything on it neither. If I recall things right he has a court-appereance in october.

It's not you.  I heard that Chapman knocked over a train the other day. 

 

He didn't rob it, he leaned against it and it fell over.

 

Colts are responsible for damages.

[schwamm]

by no means do I know the whole story, but I wouldn't think being snotty is worse than trying to flee. I strongly suspect he was cut more for the way he acted with Colts FO and/or staff behind the scenes afterwards.

[mo0nlighting]

The only defense I have for Lefeged and Brazil, is they have actually played in a real NFL game.  Boyett, well he has not even participated in OTA's or TC except for standing on the sidelines with swollen, wrapped knees.  

 

Who knows if it was a lack of contrition, a recurring problem with alcohol, or hell, he reinjured himself in his stumble away from the police.  All we know is that this time, Colts justice was swift.

 

I had high hopes for the guy too.    

[bluephantom87]

Agree... threatening to come back and break a police officer's jaw is bad enough but attatching the Colts name is even worse.

[AntonMcG]

Incredible that a player is given the opportunity of a lifetime, after a career-threatening injury, to spend a season on the sidelines, learning, and getting paid for it, and he gets himself waived.

[HungarianColtsFan]

Yeah, as a GM I couldn't imagine worse thing, that my team's name is being mentioned in such context.

[HungarianColtsFan]

I don't have any insight behind the scenes, but I can imagine, that this cas was the last drop...

[Psyren]

Good for Grigs.

We don't need guys like that. Good riddance, Mr. Boyett

[Stephen]

very sad

[csmopar]

Good riddance. Ive been advocating that Grigs and co come down hard on Brazil and Lefegeg for weeks and months now. Good job fro Grigs, time to nip this in the butt. Now, who do we sign to take his roster place.

As far as I know, he was on injury reserved list, so no roster spot is available due to this waiver.

[markabrown96]

Howell playing well made this decision even more easy imo

[coltsfanatic24]

Not surprised at all we have really good backups in Howell and Lefedged, Boyett was expendable.

[jameszeigler834]

Ya hope he has success elsewhere but would be funny if he got arrested again wherever he goes next and tells another cop that they cant arrest him he's a player of a team wherever he goes. LOL

[emac]

It needed to happen. He just cleared a 22 man cut for the team to get to 53 and he acts like this. Basically, he thinks he is entitled a position on the Colts team. This type of mentality only gets worse from my experiences managing people.  

 

Correct me if I am wrong but we now have a spot on the team.......who should we get?

No. He was on IR, so didn't count against 53-roster.

[Le Neon]

He was injured, and wasn't taking up a roster spot.  He must have made some poor impressions aside from his arrest to get dropped so quickly.  He could've been like a free draft pick next year a la Chapman.  smh

[Stephen]

He was on injury list so no new spot foe us.

[MTC]

What a shame.

 

Foolish behavior will get you no where in the NFL. 

[King Colt]

Texas A&M could take a lesson from the Colts before "Johnny Football" buries himself in his own self-admiration.

I assume tussling/threatening local police doesn't go over well with front office/ownership.
