[Mr.Debonair]

Hope he finds his way back to the PS if he's not picked up

[TKnight24]

Ummm.........

[Stephen]

Brazil rogers and boyett

[Old Colt]

And he's cut ... 

What will all the Roger's lovers do.... after all is is the next coming of Jerry Rice and reggie wayne, only better! 

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

A young TO. Pagano and his poor coaching drove him to drink. Wouldn't have happened if he was on the active roster.

[hoosierhawk]

Somebody will pick him up

Someone already did. The Indy cops.

He's gone and probably our season according to some on here.

[B~Town]

And just like that, the "Rogers is a future HOFer" talk ENDS!!!

At least in a colt uni it does . For real though best of wishes to him hope he lands on another team and keeps his butt out of trouble .

[Old Colt]

And just like that, the "Rogers is a future HOFer" talk ENDS!!!

None too soon either....

[PrincetonTiger]

Kevin Bowen tweeted he was released and Dewey Macdonald moved to the 53 man roster. Sigh smh sad to see him go he had so much potential.

Thanks for the update

DR did this to himself

INDIANAPOLIS–Police arrested Colts wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers on a DUI charge early Monday morning. Cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy was riding passenger.

The IUPUI Police Department pulled over 23-year old Rogers at 3:35 a.m. after he was seen driving on and over the yellow line near West 16th and Indiana Street on the IUPUI campus.

He was breathalyzed and registered a BAC of at least .08% and less than .15%.

Rogers is in his second season with the Colts.

If it was .08 , that is not a lot of alcohol. Not saying that he should be excused just saying that not too long ago that was barely over what was the legal amount.

[akcolt]

First issue in INDY, don't think it warrants a release

[MrNLM]

Ok Forum Sharks you can have at em!   Sick em

 

 

*Opens Gate*

[PrincetonTiger]

DR has no one to blame but himself

[Smash Mouth]

 I'm at a loss with guys drinking and driving when you make good money.  Hire a car, call Uber, take a taxi.  They always think that it won't happen to them.

 

Bu-bye!

[MrNLM]

He's already been released

I had edited my post. It either happened just as I posted or I skimmed over the news.

[Dark Superman]

Let's sign Chris Clemons

The real question is, why is a guy with his sketchy background driving around at 3:30 am after having anything to drink? I get that he's young, but when I was his age, the only place I was going at 3:30 in the morning was back from lunch during my 3rd shift grocery night manager job.

@ProFootballTalk: Colts decision to cut Da'Rick Rogers could result in a grievance. CBA prevents cutting players for "conduct detrimental."

[chad hugo]

Like coach Pagano mentioned " its pretty easy to make it here (colts organization), if you can't then you won't make it anywhere" 

[GoColts8818]

So whoever had Whalen in the Colts WR survivor pool won.

[BlueCollarColts]

To be honest with you I'm mad about Da'rick screwing up his chance, but I have always been a bit curious about Josh Lenz.  I think he's got some potential as well.  Very fast receiver with good hands who reminds me a lot of Anthony Gonzalez.  I suppose he'll be getting elevated to the 53 now that Darick is gone.  Could be wrong though.  I think Luck could do some things with Lenz if the need arose.

Dewey McDonald was elevated to the 53, not Lenz.

I think they are canning him for the lack of judgement overall.  Between college, the punt of the ball at Cincy, and this they are cutting ties.

 

I guess they got fed up and wanted to send him a message.  I really wanted to see him prosper, but it didn't come to be I suppose.

[braveheartcolt]

I wonder when they will release Mathis.......oh, wait.

I just hope it wasn't Jim's decision (via his offspring).....

[akcolt]

First issue we know of has a young guy with a troubled past with him. Rogers has made one catch for this team nothing else I would send him packing ASAP

He is a healthy scratch every week anyway. Guy is totally expendable I would not mess around with him no need to WR is a position on strength.

It opens a spot for one of those S we have been looking at

[Malakai432]

Guy had so much talent but all ruined his NFL career being a basket case going all the way back to Tenn.....

wut

He didn't deserve a spot on the active roster. Knucklehead move for a guy with a checkered past

[Colts_Fan12]

Sob this sucks well new avatar for me lol

[jvan1973]

I wonder when they will release Mathis.......oh, wait.

I just hope it wasn't Jim's decision (via his offspring).....

Why would they release Mathis? Did he do something illegal?

And this is a grigson move, but even if it was Jims, so what?

[dw49]

On another note...

Colts 2014 UDFA class is so amazing.

Harrison, Kerr, Purifoy, Jackson, and now McDonald all on the 53.

 

 

Which jackson are you talking about ? The RFA CB or the 6th round LB ?

[OffensivelyPC]

And just like that, the "Rogers is a future HOFer" talk ENDS!!!

, I almost forgot that people were having those conversations.  I mean, maybe not HOF, but there were many who certainly overstated his abilities. 

[MTC]

LB Andrew Jackson. Not sure what CB you are talking about. 

[krunk]

Dewey McDonald was elevated to the 53, not Lenz. 

 

 

I didn't say he was.  Mcdonald is a safety so I'm sure that will be to replace Colt Anderson who is injured, but if the Colts are going to continue with 6 WR on the roster like they did with Rogers then they will have to elevate Lenz or Lankford to the 53 at some point.

[TKnight24]

LB Andrew Jackson. Not sure what CB you are talking about.

We have a CB named Jackson. #25 I believe

[TKnight24]

, I almost forgot that people were having those conversations. I mean, maybe not HOF, but there were many who certainly overstated his abilities.

Well there were some who crowned him the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice so guess it was fitting to give him the HOF title since Jerry got his

[Deathiltis]

I wonder when they will release Mathis.......oh, wait.

Mathis was arrested for driving drunk?

[Valpo2004]

@ProFootballTalk: Colts decision to cut Da'Rick Rogers could result in a grievance. CBA prevents cutting players for "conduct detrimental."

 

Ok then we cut him because he doesn't play and we don't need him and we just realized it after he got drunk and drove.

[MTC]

We have a CB named Jackson. #25 I believe

Woops. I'm out of it today.

 

Andrew Jackson is not an UDFA..

[TKnight24]

Ok then we cut him because he doesn't play and we don't need him and we just realized it after he got drunk and drove.

..... Didn't we cut

Brazill

Lefeged

Boyett

Rainey

For "conduct" reasons? Did they have a grievance?

[lennymoore24]

I do think sometimes we forget that football players are human beings too.  Not saying it is okay to drink and drive, but we often act so amazed they would mess up like that.  But in society, 23 year old people do dumb things like that.  They usually don't lose their jobs for it.

I wish Rodgers well.  He has great talent.  I was worried when he was inactive all the time he might lose interest and do something irresponsible just because of his past.  I hope he straightens it out and has a great career.  Just not with New England
