Collie released

[BrentMc11]

Yes!!!!

Time for the cocktail....just because I woke up

[BrentMc11]

I loved Austin Collie, but I don't think I could stomach watching him get KO'd again. Especially in a Colts uniform. 

After further review, play stands as called by Lollygagger.  

 

The crowd ALWAYS went silent...an awful feeling.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I like Collie I just think he has concussion issues still.

[Legend of Luck]

I think this could be a positive move if we were to reach out to him. 

 

Hes better than Griff. And Griff had 9 targets on Sunday. Collie is a great route runner and can create separation. We need that right now.

I've read that his knee is still an issue.

 

 

 

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have released wide receiver Austin Collie, according to a league source.

 

Mark L. Baer/USA TODAY SportsAustin Collie appeared in three games with Tom Brady and the Patriots, catching three passes for 34 yards.

 

The veteran was signed last month and appeared in four games for the Patriots, catching three passes for 34 yards.

He left Sunday's game against thePittsburgh Steelers after suffering a knee injury, though it is unclear the severity of the issue.

The Patriots signed wide receiver LaQuan Williams on Tuesday, according to a source, which meant they needed to open up a spot on the 53-man roster.

Collie, a fourth-round pick of theIndianapolis Colts in 2009, has dealt with extensive injury issues in recent seasons.

SUUUPER bummer

[Ja'Crispy]

I love Collie and would definitely like to see him back in blue, but at the same time for his future health it's better that he isn't on a team. 

[Warhorse]

Too many hits to the head can severely limit ones ability to refrain from putting yourself in the position to receive more hits to the head.

I had missed that.

We are foolish if we dont sign him. The cost is right,and he can be that go to guy to get a first down under 10 yards without getting killed. Hands are still more reliable then anything we got now,minus maybe ty at times.

Did you miss the fact that his knee is injured yet again? Collie is a walking injury waiting to happen week in and week out. There is nothing "foolish" at all to NOT sign him. He isn't worth the time and the paper it would take to do his contract. He would probably dislocate his hand signing it anyway. 

[jbaron04]

That would work although I do not like talking about people losing their jobs.

So why did u talk about drafting luck in 2012 hmmm,, lol

[Coltsince4]

So who would want him with a knee injury? I was wondering when someone would notice the injury???

[chad72]

Outside wideout to replace DHB, Brandon Lloyd or Deion Branch make the most sense, IMO:

[dgambill]

Yeah saw he was still having knee issues...don't think he is going to be healthy for us. I would like to see Brazill get more playing time...I liked what little I saw from him last year and hope he can step up for us.

[ConBro]

We released Laurence Guy 2 days after he blocked a kick for us that was returned for a TD in the Seattle game.  

I thought Guy was claimed off of our practice squad after that game?

[Dark Superman]

Isnt Collie hurt?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Good for him.

 

Wrong Forum.

This guy was trolling before it was cool wasn't he?

[GoColts8818]

Good for him.

Wrong Forum.

didnt read the thread did you? I was talking about the colts maybe looking at him so not wrong forum.

[CanuckColt]

Let's get some stability for a few games with the guys we have in there now...give them a chance to jell...

Later we may want to give Rogers a shot at some playing time.

[MR. Blueblood]

I thought Guy was claimed off of our practice squad after that game?

No he was on the active roster, and then was released to make room for Brazill once he came back from suspension

He was claimed off waivers

Harsh.

 

Every person has worth

[Dark Superman]

This is just a sad situation for Austin.. The guy just can't seem to catch a break. I just want to see him succeed..

[SkyBane]

Harsh.

Every person has worth

Not in every aspect of life. With his injury history, Collie is near worthless as a football player because he never sees the field. Its just paying a guy to be attended to by your training staff, in other words, worthless.

[No 1 Manning Fan]

right I don't think he's the answer either but might be worth a try out. Frankly he's probably as good as anyone else on the free agent market at this point.

Could we sign him to the PS just to see where he's at?

[southwest1]

I didn't necessarily want Collie back on our squad, but being cut by the Niners & Patriots, 2 stellar franchises, is not a good omen for Austin at all. It just kills when a promising career at the beginning fizzles out to a defective fire cracker now with no bang at all. 

 

Even if Collie has a knee issue, is it an arthritis or cartilage concern? Major bummer...Is this the NFL end for Collie? Who knows...

[HarassedOffTheSite]

didnt read the thread did you? I was talking about the colts maybe looking at him so not wrong forum.

Collie being cut isn't Colts related. And the Colts do not need a slow guy in the slot. Therefore NOTHING about Collie is Colts related. Try as you might.

[House]

Dear god....

[GoColts8818]

Read the thread next time.  I made the very first post saying I don't think the Colts will go after him but since they are in such need for a WR and Collie has at least played with Luck and guys in this team they might kick the tires on him.  Some Colts local media guys are wondering the samething on twitter.  I also said in my post I don't think he's the answer and don't think he is even more so now that the news about him be hurt has come out but since I didn't know that at the time yes it was Colts related because it speculation on a move the Colts MIGHT do.  Stuff that happens in this forum all the time.  Next time read more than just the title of a thread before you try to blast something. Just because you don't think it's a move that should be made doesn't mean it's not Colts related. 

[Blackhawk4]

Could we sign him to the PS just to see where he's at?

[GoColts8818]

Could we sign him to the PS just to see where he's at?

Nope he's past the eligibility requirements for that.  With him being hurt I don't think we do sign him.  That's something I didn't know at the time of the first post.  If we did it would be after he was healthy and frankly by then I would hope we have figured out the WR position. 

[Happy2BeHere]

If we signed collie he would apart guarantee us one catch and then be concussed, however that's somewhat better than butterfingers DHB cause hey one guaranteed catch

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Collie being cut isn't Colts related. And the Colts do not need a slow white guy in the slot. Therefore NOTHING about Collie is Colts related. Try as you might.

What does him being white have to do with anything?  Would you be ok with a slow black slot WR?  Wait...is this Richie Ingonito?

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Read the thread next time.

 

Fine, there's something somewhere close to a snowballs chance in hell that the Colts would ever consider signing Collie.

 

That work for you?

 

Austin Collie's professional status never will be Colts related again. Let it go.

 

"He's dead Jim!"

[In Luck We Trust]

I would be for this.  Collie at least does seem to have consistent hands and we could probably get him for the NFL min.  

and he took a big hit in the saints game and got up. i mean that has to be a good sign right? 

[Dustin]

Rumors are he's torn his ACL, so it's a moot point anyway.
