Micheal Hill was also cut

More moves on the way, I think.

[Nobody]

WOOO

[Indyfan4life]

I really do hate how his career has been since I'm a huge Alabama fan. Hope him the best wherever he ends up.

[Bluefire4]

So do we get the money or not?

[TKnight24]

The Colts waived another running back in Michael Hill today as well. #Colts

Goodbye and good riddance

[JlynRN]

I wondered how long it would be until he was released.  Not a surprise to anyone tho.

[bap1331]

Wow didnt see that coming! Patriots pick him up. Lol

[mattceinicram]

Do we free up cap space?

[snkdy]

It's about time.

[bsteves]

Hopefully we're clearing up cap space to sign Knighton or Fairley.

[HungarianColtsFan]

Do we free up cap space?

About 3.5 million.

[RockThatBlue]

Woo hoo!

[Bluefire4]

Do we free up cap space?

 

About 3.5 million.

I don't know about that.. I hope so.

No more policing the fighting in that stupid thread! I'm 

Best to Trent though

3.5 mill

Now you can unpin it. It will be a seminal moment in each of our lives like the falling of the Berlin wall!

As a Buckeye living in Bama, with a kid going to school there, I've followed him for a long time.

 

I hope he turns it around and has a good career.  I really don't get all the hate and sarcasm here.  Whatever.

Feeling superstitious.  I'll wait a few hours in case people have left over hating to do

[JlynRN]

So are the Colts not on the hook for Trent's salary then?  Are we off the hook because of his suspension last season?

 

Best of luck to Trent tho in where ever he decides to go.

Goodbye and good riddance

 

 

Is that nice ?

[NBColtsFanatic]

Next up

Mr. Donald Thomas

[HungarianColtsFan]

I don't know about that.. I hope so.

Due to conduct detrimental and suspension his money is not due. I'm not sure about exact figure, but it is over 3 mill.

[CR91]

watch the patriots pick him up

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Is that nice ?

No, the guy was a detriment on the field and couldn't even follow team protocol off the field.

[Dark_Indy]

It's about time.

 

The Colts Organization gave him more than enough time to get his junk together. Bye Felicia.

[ColtsLegacy]

"End of an Error" 

 

Nicely done.

[Dustin]

He should take the year off to learn the playbook. 

[PeterBowman]

I didn't mind the trade as it was kind of made out of desparation....hoped that it would have worked but it didn't and it's time to move on.

[IndyD4U]

We all knew it was coming. I'm more excited to see it, finally

[Happy2BeHere]

Good move to release the guy... We admitted our mistake officially in the eyes of the media which many of us saw coming sometime ago

[dw49]

No, the guy was a detriment on the field and couldn't even follow team protocol off the field.

 

Ahhh.. what can you do ? Some players work out and others don't. It may have cost him 3.5 mill and that's probably a pretty steep price for what he actually did. 

[ColtsLegacy]

I would like to know this as well. Anyone, anyone? Bueller?

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I'd like to see the cowboys pick him up.

I wish him well, it wasn't his fault where he was drafted and the Colts giving up a #1 for him.

[Deathiltis]

I try not to think about who we could have if we didn't draft fat slow Bjoern and didn't trade for Richardson.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Can't do anything. Except give the Kid some more time to learn the Playbook...
