McNary elevated, Reed and Cunningham cut, Howell to IR [Merge]

[coltsfanatic24]

Reed should have been cut 3 weeks ago along with Vaughn, Mcglynn,Satele, Franklin and DHB. Whalen, Rogers,Holmes, Conner, Link and Hughes should all be starting.

So we still have an open roster spot. Any guesses who fills it? O-line depth maybe? Or perhaps a FA reciever?

No, Lynch makes 53.

[Superman]

That makes sense and as far as the money goes , I think I remember hearing that you can actually match the money offer that player might receive from another team. Other words , there is no set limit on what you can pay a practice squad player. 

 

I'm not sure. I remember having a similar understanding, but I think I saw something that contradicts that. Bottom line, I don't know if you can match.

 

There's no maximum salary or anything, so if someone wants to pay a practice squad player $10m/year, they could. Not gonna happen, though.

Didn't the titans try to keep Antonio Johnson when we claimed him off waivers a few years back. I thought I remember reading the Titans offered to up his pay if he would stay. Maybe I was dreaming that.....

My memory is hazy on that as well. They might have offered to put him on their active roster, and he chose to come to the Colts anyways. 

[Slick_Rick]

My bad.

[krunk]

That means Rogers will be active this week.

 

 

I'm so scared to even assume that this week unless I hear verbatim from Chuck "Yes he will play".  

I was so excited last week thinking he would play, and then game time came and I saw "inactive".

Man I was  dissapointed!

[pgt_rob]

Rogers must not show much more than what Whalen does during practice or something. I doubt he will play against the Titans because it is a huge game for us. I'm hoping we get to see Rainey do some kick returns but we shall see. I doubt we see McNary for some time too. Seems like that's how it goes.

[BrentMc11]

And in unison, the Colts forum members cried out in joy.

I feel the need to give Dustin a standing ovation for this popular post.....but since it is David Reed I need to take a knee!!!  A little symbolism never hurt now did it?

 

Did anyone else learn how to 'take a knee' in Pee Wee Football?   ;)

[lollygagger8]

REED IS GONE!!!

In the junior league I played in did not have a kicking game

[BrentMc11]

REED IS GONE!!! 

 

And the fans go wild.......... Can I have fries with that?

sing your rejoices david reed is gone!!! 

Wow.....now the offense may get a shot to start at the 20 yd line instead of the 6 or 7!

[Old Colt]

So Da'Rick Rogers has to be active... right?

I hope so.... get all this Rogers hype over.....  I hope he doesn't drop anything (if he even sees the field), not even the water bottle or this forum will melt down....

[kjyb]

every one now knows whats going to happend if not, chris rainey is kick return maybe and darick rogers to playing time here we come

[kjyb]

REED IS GONE!!! 

 

thank god

[Poster X]

Reed was probably heard yelling in the background "I'll take a knee next time... please don't cut me." Alas it was to no avail, and rightfully so. I feel for guys who get signed, cut, and signed again. That would be tough.

[kjyb]

Now were down to 4 WR, don't want to speculate like last game but Rogers has to be active against Titans right? Lol I wouldn't be able to control myself if we trotted out 3 active WRs and one being named DHB

At least JC is young and not established in the community yet

[In Luck We Trust]

are there any decent available  interior offensive lineman in the FA market that we can snag for the rest of the season?? 

[PrincetonTiger]

Lynch, the new DB the Colts looks like I high character guy

He is married to Billy Graham's Granddaughter and during his time with Cincy he jumped into a wrecked car and provided aid and comfort to the injured driver.

[SOMDColtsfan]

The Titans signed KR Leon Washington, didn't know he was available. That would have been a nice pick up. Now he`ll probably have 150 all purpose yards against the Colts, the 2nd coming of Devin Hester

Meh. Kick it through the end zone.

He was just released by the Pats earlier this week

He is 31 so age is probably catching up with him and I don't think he is all that dangerous like he once was. 

[dw49]

I'm pretty sure we claimed a player that the team tried to keep by paying him more money ... thought was Mookie. Anyway tried to find more on this and at least found something confirming that you can pay more if so desired.

Still better than anyone we`ve had returning kicks this year, or since can remember for a long,long time. Since Clarence Verdin maybe?

Yeah I would have love it if the colts pick him up. Way better upgrade from Reed.

Will be doing this if they put McNary on the field maybe he brings some life to this D , and attitude

Looking forward to the 'Lieutenant' making a guest appearance...whether special teams or on the defense.....wondering where they will play him ....

[HarryTheCat]

Why have I got this played out in my head as they told him at practice and opened with the old "take a knee son"... 

He did take a knee on almost every return. Unfortunately he usually took it at the 9 yard line.

[jbaron04]

i had to let the excitement settle down for a few days to make sure it was real      :clap:             

[3nk1du]

I really hope Josh McNary is another Jerrell Freeman, but to be realistic i think he is gonna be a good gunner(for now).

He will have to work his way onto the field

Yeah I love McNarys size speed and attitude. Hooah!

Kept my eye on him looked pretty good IMO caused some dissruption in the pass rush ,made another good play or 2 .Sp Teams seems he was always right at the ball.Think hes gonna help this team.   Although he didn't play a lot.

Yes he played well on Special Teams and had a QB pressure that stopped a drive.  Nice start for the Lieutenant!!  He looked strong and fast, and he was in position when I saw him.  Nice start.

He also launched #71 on the strip-sack return.

Thanks for adding that.  He looked good...period!!  Moved like a cat on the pressure and the Mathis sack!!
