Colts Release Multiple Players

[Dustin]

Actually it would be an adjective and not name calling

 

ummm, it's both. 

[BOTT]

Biggest loss of 3 is NIXON.This tells me COLTS are trying to retain CHERILUS or a early pick in draft will go ol,maybe CORY ROBINSON,DARRYL WILLIAMS OR JOSUE MATIAS which would allow MEWHORT to move to tackle

Cutting Nixon shouldn't tell you anything other than he's not good enough to be missing flights

[RockThatBlue]

how much do we save by cutting Landry?

2.2 million

[Jdubu]

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

I doubt we part with RJF. He is a bit over paid for production but not enough to take a cap hit and turn around and replace him with a new FA imo. Perhaps next year but I predict he stays

[Mathis_Fan98]

Wow I will miss Landry....said by no one on this forum.

[Gavin]

I think Francois has the tools to be a dominant D Lineman for us actually but his timing off the snap is slow and he spends to much time hand fighting I think but the acceleration and motor is there, He is a solid rotation D Lineman who had a productive year last year, I'd actually like to see Quarles get in on the mix but I don't think that's going to happen

[dw49]

Those three groups exist with pretty much every signing. But I remember there being a lot of "go get Landry" stuff leading up to free agency, and a lot of celebrating when it happened. 

 

This is the problem with free agency. Most moves don't work the way you'd hope, and then fans point fingers in hindsight about how terrible those moves were. Yet, the cycle continues every offseason, with people asking for brand name free agents, when history proves that the odds aren't favorable. 

 

 

For sure they all aren't going to work out. Look at the results of that huge splash Miami made a couple of years ago. Pretty much took it in the caboose with every signing. Lets not forget that these are the guys that their teams didn't resign to a new contract. 

[TheEdgeis1]

good riddance Landry....... your a bum!

[TheEdgeis1]

People, we are not getting rid off RJF.

I think the first sign we had a problem is when he skipped voluntaries to stay on his own doing bicep curls.

[TheEdgeis1]

[II COLD]

Richardson will have to wait. They don't want to cut him before they know that the PA's appeal is denied. If they cut him and he wins the appeal we Are stuck paying him.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I'm guessing Jackson's release is related to his arrest? Would that be fair to say?

You would think, why not the other Jackson then?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Having a hard hitting Safety is overrated in todays NFL, Need two cover safeties

You need both!!!!!!!!!!

[backshoulderfade]

You would think, why not the other Jackson then?

Because this is his 2nd DUI in 12 months, he wasn't a starter and he has a small contract.

[Gavin]

You need both!!!!!!!!!!

Feel better?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

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

Hes not getting cut maybe restructured contract but not cut.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Cutting Nixon shouldn't tell you anything other than he's not good enough to be missing flights

or they are going to resign Reitz because he is better!

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Because this is his 2nd DUI in 12 months, he wasn't a starter and he has a small contract.

I liked his potential too bad maybe he gets a shot somewhere else?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Landry under performed for sure I liked the signing when it happened but he didn't play up to the contract! Surprised as to the cut only that we are thin at safety! I like MacDonald I hope he gets a first crack at the job. Wouldn't mind if the signed Adams back he played very well! Calling it now though saw Nate Allan was a free agent from Philly, Grigson LOVES the Philly guys IMO look for him to be signed sooner more then later, & we probably draft a safety too! Nixon ahhhh whatever, Jackson I liked, IIB will be a big need in the draft IMO!

[backshoulderfade]

He was always a 2 down backer though. He will land on some teams offseason roster but I can't see much else for the kid.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Probable There was talk the 49ers might release Willis heres to hopping!

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Feel better?

YES I had a Snickers!

[dw49]

I'll go on record as saying that I really liked him from what little I saw. Yeah .. 2 down LB but those kind of guys can have value.

[peytonmanning18]

I think we'll cut him whether we have to pay him or not. I don't see way he is a Colt in 2015 after the way the season ended.

[jimmy g]

Now Dewey may bring something to the table. We just don't know what he offers just yet.

we know he can't catch a fake punt pass....

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but you're doing it wrong. The only one of those players with any June implications is Cherilus, and the number you have there isn't correct.

[Stoney]

Excellent debate tactic. name calling

Name calling? By calling you silly..? Lol try to have a little fun.

Why would you want to cut toler? He played well this season, yea he struggled at times but with our 0 coverage almost the whole game it's tough. I'd see how he does with a good pass rush, maybe with Mathis back and a new front we can help him out. Add to that a top three corner in Davis, hopefully we can be excited about something after this off seasin

[braveheartcolt]

I don't like the Jackson release

Yeah, Thriller is way over rated...

[braveheartcolt]

I think the first sign we had a problem is when he skipped voluntaries to stay on his own doing bicep curls.

Agreed. To me, this suggested he didn't like to be around or anywhere near other people. Particularly those who wear different coloured uniforms...

[Jason_]

I'll go on record as saying that I really liked him from what little I saw. Yeah .. 2 down LB but those kind of guys can have value.

 

I agree.  

[akcolt]

Mixed feelings on this one, love seeing Landry go but I don't think it was fair to release Andrew Jackson. He didn't do much his rookie year, but he could of been useful. Seemed like he took responsibility for his actions. Nixon I'm fine with. Looks like we are drafting a safety in this year's draft or getting McCourty, so I couldn't be happier about Landry getting cut.

2 DUI's in a year and you don't think it was fair? To who? I for one am tired of all the off the field news this team has been getting later Jackson.

 

 Nixon missed the flight to the AFC championship game ridiculous and we all know Landry was just bad.

[JR Indy]

Landry's gone!! 

 

 

that is hilarious

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

I told you guys Landry would be cut. BOOM!!!!

We are all happy here in colt nation

[csmopar]

The funny part is how many fans over on nfl.com are drooling over him and wanting their teams to sign him........

Landry that is

Trying to decipher Mintor's posts is an exercise in futility.
