Bravo Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's NOT that easy..I'm not sure why people think it is.. You can't just cut a guy! NFL players have contracts for a reason! If they just cut him they still have to pay for what they guaranteed. Plus like stated above either trade him to get rid of his contract or use him as depth..But I'm all for Brown starting until he shows he can't.

Like you say, his salry for the season is guaranteed, but that doesn't mean you can't cut him. It only means he'll still get paid. And I doubt his contract has any offset language, so if another team picks him up, we would only have to pay the remainder of what the new team doesn't pay.Also, if we cut him after the trade deadline, he goes through waivers. His contract isn't that big, so I think someone would pick him up, in which case we don't pay any of what's left on his deal this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think we can cut him after the season with no cap hit. I'm really hoping we do and sign Antrell Rolle then also draft a safety in the 1st or 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibby43 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 People are undervaluing Landry severely. He actually had a couple very solid games this year. Everyone doubted Sergio's abilities before he got his starting opportunity this season. I started a thread predicting that he would play well (based on the fact I got to see him play extensively at Notre Dame). Now, after a few quality starts, everyone is on the Sergio bandwagon. Sergio has been playing well but you need depth at a position like Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock8591 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Our whipping boy on these forums used to be McGlynn and Satele...once they left, it became T-Rich, Werner, Walden. I think the clear cut one now is Landry, lol. The rest have definitely elevated their games to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moopsiepuffs Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Anything to ensure he isn't on the field. Firstly, he is simply terrible. Second, all the does is promote his supplement sponsors (who cut him lol) and third he can't tackle. Goodbye Landry. You were a weak link on defense and have been surpassed by a glorified special teams player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtStronger Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Cutting LaRon Landry is about as funny as the fire pep, grigson, and chuck jokes lol. Really? Why in the world would you cut him? Who would you suggest be backup? I think most people will be surprised how well he plays when he comes back. If he doesn't then we could always put Sergio back in and find a replacement in the offseason. It will continue to be a priority anyway, after the season. I'm sure he doesn't have much trade value, so that shouldn't be an option. I just don't understand how good our team is, but people still find a way to complain! I hope the people who want Landry out admit they're wrong, if he shows them up. I think Landry has under performed considering his abilities, and getting suspended looks bad on him, but I'm not giving up on him. I remember the first few games last season before he got injured, so I know what he is capable of. I think most people have unreal expectations or false perceptions. Just like Nicks and T Rich, if they're not performing as highly as Luck or Hilton then something is wrong because they have a big name, but not putting up the big numbers. Get off there backs!! We have playmakers everywhere, as long as they're doing what's asked of them why be so critical? Be patient were still such a young team with great potential. Everyone will continue to get better!

akcolt Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We are not cutting Landry come on.

Danfish98 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I certainly hope Brown stays in the starting lineup once Landry is back but cutting him now would be a terrible idea. We have no depth at safety and while Landry hasn't been worth his salary, he's considerably better than anyone available off the street currently.

krunk Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm for cutting him if we can get one of the players that Irsay, Pagano, and Grigson discussed. A young up and coming safety in exchange for Landry. If we can't do that and we have to keep him I believe he still can make a good contribution. I just want to see more out of him in the passing game. If we don't feel he can do that then I'm okay with option A from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mess with successit wouldn't be good to cut someone you have been intertwined with in the locker room , on the field, & everywhere, your right, it's a chemistry thing. players on the team would be shocked. he is an extra strong football player and probably a good locker-room guy. probably helps teammates with proper nutrition and supplements. Not the best in pass coverage but get him out of the game in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtStronger Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Take Adams place?No..I believe he played that position when he was at his pro bowl form. He is a lot better blitzing and in short distance coverage. People always complain how bad he is in the secondary and always get burnt deep. I've saw Adams whiff quite a few tackles, but nobody mentions that, because he has been doing pretty well for the most part and was handed 2 int's on a silver platter. If you think the Colts are just gonna get rid of Landry, please don't kid yourself! I think Sergio and LaRon would play better together than Sergio and Mike...Why wouldn't you want LaRon in? I admit he has been struggling but give him some time when he gets back, he will be flying around making big hits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry is fast and strong and can lay the wood when he connects, but a lot of his high-light reel plays are due to the fact he had gotten out of position and had to use his speed to catch up. Adams is playing very good football now, no way do we remove him from the lineup. He is almost always in position and isn't letting anything behind the defense. I'd take him being in position and missing an occasional tackle (I don't think it's been 'quite a few') than see Landry out of position and having to catch up and make a highlight reel play after a ton of yards are given up. I trust the coaches to do what is best for the team. Personally, I think Sergio is a more disciplined player and that his play as warranted him keeping the starting spot. However, I'll not be disappointed if LaRon takes over -- I just hope he doesn't become a weak link in coverage and that if he is messing up the chemistry we've built over the past few games or getting beat in coverage that the coaches are willing to make the switch back to Sergio.

Well said. I know Landry does blow coverage occasionally and give up big plays. We cant have that! I do think he deserves his spot back, but if he doesn't perform well, he needs to be back on the bench, and canned in the offseason. As of right now he I think he has potential but should be on thin ice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
