Colts Release Multiple Players

[PrincetonTiger]

If you like Mike Adams you will absolutely love Antrel Rolle. Arguably the best player on the Giants D. I'd be stoked if we could land him in Indy.

The Price Tag is the concern

If we chase a FA Safety I'd prefer one < 30

[danlhart87]

Sign Rahim Moore

Me too

Understood

Using that logic, we should have kept Landry and just let Adams walk.........

problem is we can't keep filling our holes with geriatric players past their prime

[dgambill]

There's still an unanswered question about whether the team will use a post-June 1 designation on him. If so, we save $4m this year, and $6m next year. If not, we save $2.25m this year, and $7.75m next year. 

 

Andrew Jackson didn't have any unamortized bonus, and didn't have any unpaid guarantees. Saves $510K in 2015.

 

I'm a little confused about Xavier Nixon. I was under the impression that he was an exclusive rights free agent, no longer under contract. I guess when it says he was waived, it means his ERFA rights were waived. No impact to the cap either way.

I'd imagine we take the hit this year since I would think we have more guys to re-sign next year and fewer holes to fill this year. Besides I don't think we are done with the cuts.

[grimluck72]

Landry was a *. Good riddance.

[dgambill]

Sign Rahim Moore

I think he owes the Broncos a hometown discount...

[csmopar]

Hmmm nice moves. Not surprised by any of them. Hopefully more coming (TRICH cough cough )

Next Up...........

 

[JColts72]

No loss with any of them. Landry was way overrated. Don't know what Ryan saw in him.

[csmopar]

Next Up...........

I don't see rjf getting cut unless we sign abother d linemen first

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

I don't see rjf getting cut unless we sign abother d linemen first

 

We didnt sign a safety yet and Landry is gone so.......

[csmopar]

True very true. It's gonna be an interesting offseason for sure.

[Superman]

It doesn't really matter when they take the hit. It's not that big, and you can roll cap space over if you want. Either way you do it, you save $10m against the cap over the next two seasons. 

 

The one that matters is Cherilus, if they release him (and I think they should). They'd restrict their spending this year if they didn't designate him as a post-June 1 release. 

[PrincetonTiger]

I don't see rjf getting cut unless we sign abother d linemen first

Agreed

[Colts_Fan12]

RJF is NOWHERE near as bad as Landry

[Superman]

I don't see rjf getting cut unless we sign abother d linemen first

 

The difference is that RJF isn't a liability, despite the zealotry of the anti-RJF crowd. He's actually a decent player, he played 16 games this year and filled in well for Jones, and he plays a position where he can be used in a rotational role. 

[OhioColtsGirl]

Richardson better be next

Agree. Then I will be ecstatic

Colts never seem to use the post June 1st cut and I would think they just eat the dead money all this year. They have plenty of cap room , so why not ?

I like RJF but I'd gladly take your Nick Fairley signing lol would we keep RJF to rotate or would we not wanna pay him that much

I wouldnt say Im anti RJF, I guess I should have used a question mark in regards to his release instead of using the whole.......... thing.

[dw49]

Saw that Colts save $510,000 for releasing Jackson, Nixon was an ERFA

 

 

Really all that amounts to at the most is 75K . 510K minus 430 which is the rookie minimum

[Superman]

I like RJF but I'd gladly take your Nick Fairley signing lol would we keep RJF to rotate or would we not wanna pay him that much

 

We kept him this year, presumably to rotate behind Jones. It would depend on what Redding does.

[Boiler_Colt]

I think ILB is a position we definitely hit in the draft as our primary backups, Jackson and likely McNary are gone. That leaves D'Qwell and Muamba as the only ones on the roster.

[Superman]

They haven't had a lot of high profile releases, not since 2012. Satele only had one year remaining, so no post-June 1 option there.

 

It doesn't really matter, but it would change the number by $1.75m. 

[Colts_Fan12]

yeah I would think redding would retire but ya never know

[krunk]

Can almost guarantee we sign McCourty should he reach Free Agency. We saved some money, we need a safety, McCourty is perfect and will fill a gaping hole in the secondary. This is a team that is close, McCourty may agree to come.

 

On NFL Network they stated Mcourty would likely be Franchise tagged

[throwing BBZ]

Agreed , Nixxon for missing team flight ?

 

 The game we started him at RT he looked like a guy who had just been converted from defense.  lol

 Thanks Grigs for getting Landry off the roster sooner rather than later. Tired of him and all the talk.

 Andrew Jackson was likely to slow to be an every down player anyway.

[IndyD4U]

Understood

We need a solution, not a stop gap.

I agree. Which is why I made the comment. I don't think we cut him as he is serviceable unless we get an upgrade on the DL somewhere

Manning ? Don't know how many years these guys had on contracts but... Clarke , Adlai and Brackett . But that made sense as the Colts went to a rebuilding phase.

[Superman]

I agree. Wichita is why I made the comment. I don't think we cut him as he is serviceable unless we get an upgrade on the DL somewhere

 

I wouldn't cut him unless he gets outplayed at camp.

True but it may come down to his salary and just who'd replace him

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

So what up with Delano howell does this mean he can play or is his injury mean career over?

[Superman]

Manning ? Don't know how many years these guys had on contracts but... Clarke , Adlai and Brackett . But that made sense as the Colts went to a rebuilding phase.

 

I mean after 2012. Yeah, Manning of course, but we didn't post-June 1 him. We did Brackett. No to the others, IIRC.

 

In 2013, there was only Zbikowski, who didn't have any meaningful bonus money. In 2014, there was only Satele.

[Jay Kirk]

Ok im already seeing sign this player or that one. Lets not be to hasty , don't forget some very good players can and will be cut because of Caps.

[Superman]

How can you be sure you have a replacement for him? If we made a BIG move, like Suh, then I could see dropping RJF. But I doubt it.
