Satele is Gone!

Well, releasing Satelle basically frees up the money spent on Jackson...

So you have that...

[lollygagger8]

 

[csmopar]

So basically we save 4 million, which means minus the 5.5 million we just paid for DQ, that means we're still around 40 million in cap, maybe more.

LOL!!

I didn't doubt for a second that this would happen. It was fairly obvious it was going to happen. Glad its finally over with.

The Indianapolis Colts today made an exclusive rights tender to outside linebacker Cam Johnson and made qualifying offers to restricted free agents cornerback Josh Gordy and guard Joe Reitz. The team also released center Samson Satele.

LOL!!!

[JasonABrown]

Now lets get going on finding an outstanding replacement!

Thank You Samson and I wish You all the best in FA. I hope You'll find a team soon!

[Old Colt]

Build The Monster......... OL STYLE....

[Johnny Bui]

Its about time!  Now we can find a real center.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Thanks for your time Samson, wish you the best in Free Agency. 

 

 

On another note, time to do get Dietrich Smith or De La Puente!

[Ja'Crispy]

 

One dancing gif wasn't enough

[vinsanity]

Thats great and all but who is going to replace him? We have 1 left on the roster and there aren't any promising FA's other than Alex Mack, who I believe has been tagged.

Thanks, HCF....

 

This thread needed ONE classy post....

 

Glad it was you...

In the words of Ice Cube "Today Was a Good Day"  :clap:  :clap:  :clap: 

[UKColtfanHS]

Excellent news!!!!  :disco:  Good luck to Satele though, nice bloke!

[FicmanS]

Thank you Grigs!!!

 

Been a GREAT day

We could still get Mack, but we'd have to well over pay to get him out from that transition tag

[Bravo]

Is it bad that this is the most exciting thing that may happen this offseason!?

YYYYYYYAAAAAAYYY!

now who we gonna pick up!??????

[adamthyst]

 

YES! YES! YES!

[Derakynn]

Thanks for being a part of the team. Hisbfacebook was pretty great for a laugh (if that was really his). This creates more of a question of whether they think Holmes will be able to step in. Otherwise they are counting on definitely being able to pick someone up in FA.

[Devildog]

Obviously today is a good day. Now I'm excited as to who we will start at center.

[Balzer40]

People need to get over this Mack infatuation. Its not happening.

[csmopar]

I agree, I wanted Mack, but not at the price it would take. I'm not saying we should pay that much for him, but merely stating that it is a slim, very slim, possibility of happening and would take a fortune....

[HungarianColtsFan]

Thanks, HCF....

I don't understand the hate he receives!

 

He wasn't the best C ever, still he was playing for the team and he did his best.

[corgi]

 

YES! YES! YES!

YES!

[Poster X]

Never has there been a bigger celebration of a man losing his job.

If we could, Mack would be an awesome addition at any cost (I think top centers are def. worth all the marbles in the bag).

[neug3246]

I was sitting in class when I received the announcement on my phone. Screamed * ya and everyone gave me a strange look. I dont care though this is a positive step moving forward for the colts. Bye Bye Satele!

We also tendered Cam Johnson, Joe Reitz, and Josh Gordy!

The first topic to ever be posted on this forum that every member will agree on!!

That only cleared up 1.7 in cap?

Thought it was $4 million..?

[Valpo2004]

This calls for a celebration!!!

 

[BrentMc11]

Went up for a nap, and I woke up to a dream come true

 

This was a great decision for the Colts to move forward in order to make the interior line stronger.  We need to remember that this is really only the first step.  More changes to be made starting...March 11.

 

Good Luck Samson from one of your harshest critics.  I do wish you the best of luck wherever your career path takes you.

I'm not sure there seems to be a thing on the internet saying that it only cleared up 1.7 mil.  But everything on overthecap and sportrac said 4 mil.

 

This seems to indicate 4 mil

 

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/06/colts-cut-starting-center-samson-satele/

 

Really his cap hit was around 5 mil but about a million of that was in signing bonus.

 

It should be 4 million.

Maybe George W. Bush
