Trent Richardson Released (merge)

[Bluefire4]

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

Yes but he can plead his case with the NFL and NFLPA and get his money.. if the story was true that we suspended him because he was in the hospital with his girlfriend.

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

bye trent im so happy i cried a lil bit what a great offseason #inGrigsITrust

[wesd2890]

In other news trich runs over the colts in a classic patriots colts blow out

[Hamster360]

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.

I don't know how he'd do in Dallas. Part of me says good because they have a really good line, but part of me thinks if he struggles at all on "americas team" the publicity will destroy him. He needs to go to jacksonville or oakland where if he does still suck, no one will notice lol.

Unless he loses 20-30 pounds and he gets better vision, even he would suck behind the cowboys o line

It seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind.

Great quote from Elton John.

[Coltsman1788]

Whoop there it is!

Wish Trent the best at his next destination but he just wasn't working over here. Glad the Colts are admitting their mistake and moving on.

Id have to imagine the #Colts strongly believe that Richardson's loss of guarantees will stand

[chrisfarley]

So do we get the money or not?

No, we lose out big-time IMO, there is little to no way we could win a grievance IMO due to the Players Union lawyers.

[jvan1973]

No, we lose out big-time

I amended my post before you replied to make sure I used IMO.

Have you seen the language in the contract?

Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana btw might have worked out better for us.

The lyrics I had in mind though were:

"Celebrate good times, come on!"

[Ryan Pelley]

Watch Trent land in Dallas, behind their monsterous Oline and run for 1,500 yards...

[chrisfarley]

Have you seen the language in the contract?

I remember people on NFL Network talking about it when trent was suspended and their thinking that it would be a very tough fight.  But no I haven't but assumed NFL folks knew what they were talking about.

I'm positive the guys on NFL network haven't seen the language in the contract either

[Indeee]

Word out of Indy is, The Colts put TRich on Irsays private jet, rolled it backwards 2 yards then kicked him out..

Ouch

[OffensivelyPC]

Oh no, what will we ever do without Modern on these forums?

[MTNVG]

Now for the love of god will people stop bringing him up in every thread?

[csmopar]

Bout time. I admit I was one who thought he'd be something here. I will admit I was wrong.

In other news, Trich couldn't even fund his way out of the door, so he had to be carried through it.

I hope we get the 3.5 savings.

[adamthyst]

There is a god.

[The Peytonator]

Ding dong, the Rich is dead (cap space).

[RockThatBlue]

Trent had 1 yard in 3 total playoff games.

[COLTS449]

Bye bye bum.

[Gavin]

My 2nd whiff this offseason, Yep I can admit it

[James]

Good.

[masterlock]

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.

Yeah, as if running back was the ONE final piece of the puzzle that was holding the team back from a Super Bowl. Sorry, but it was a horrible trade.

[NewColtsFan]

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.

 

Seriously?

 

Or sarcastic?

[Superman]

Contract law is ridiculous.

I was insanely pumped for his arrival in Indy. Crap in one hand and hope in the other. See which fills up first. Good luck Trent.

[MTC]

I feel bad for him but it's a business.

I agree.  He did his best.  Just wasn't good enough.  Open forums....what are you going to do.

Richardson should have been cut a long time ago. One of the biggest bust in sports history. He just didn't have the vision or speed to be a good RB. Walden should be the next to go.

[MR. Blueblood]

I would tell him not to let the door hit him on the way out, but he's too slow and too busy juking and jiving around to get through it when it was open anyway.

Walden should only go if we are in to sign a difference maker.
