Cut Players As Colts Trim Down To 53 (Cut Thread)

[Bravo]

THEY KEPT BALLARD!?

Seriously!!!?????

Wow..... I get it he's a good guy but seriously... Come on.

[Ja'Crispy]

Ya think...???

Only question is "who"?

Grigs def has something planned, for sure.

 

Taylor? Dockett? Or maybe he has his eyes on some other teams' cuts. 

 

I'm sure he has a plan.

[Jackie Daytona]

also..... RB may show that between Ballard, Robinson, Boom..... only 1 is able to go wk 1.....

[DougDew]

1 DL-man active from last years roster.. wow.

I guess they didn't like last year's lineup.  Chap, Hughes, Redding, and RJF all gone from last year.

[GoColts8818]

At least trade Carter for something to a team like Carolina. I don't get it.

my guess is they will try to put him on the PS. Also why would Carlonia trade for him if they know he's getting cut. He also has done very little in the pre-season so he might not have much trade value around the NFL.

Only because Herron and Robinson are injured.

[our_dbs_rock]

Carter to CAR or NE

 

Wasn't Minnesota interested in him also?

[our_dbs_rock]

Only because Herron and Robinson are injured.

 

Didn't Ballard get injured also?

[Jackie Daytona]

also.....12 DB's?    somethings not right

[NorthernBlue]

ummmmmm okay. This has been a very weird past couple minutes................

[Redbull]

Cater didn't show up in games only in practice need guys to perform on the field not practice

[RealityIsLuck]

Only because Herron and Robinson are injured.

Except for the fact Ballards injured too...

[csmopar]

I'm so confused right now. Not disagreeing except for keeping ballard over carter but I just don't get what the plan is for the DL

[Malakai432]

Who cares about Duron Carter? We only have 5 Dlineman lol.

Yeah I'm thinking there has to be something going on. The lack of depth seems to bad.

[Dustin]

Except for the fact Ballards injured too...

It's just a hammy.

[CR91]

I cant believe they kept werner. what a joke

[MB-ColtsFan]

Taylor? Dockett? Or maybe he has his eyes on some other teams' cuts. 

 

I'm sure he has a plan.

I'll take th pass on Dockett, thank you.

He must know of some of the cuts.

[Boiler_Colt]

my guess is they will try to put him on the PS. Also why would Carlonia trade for him if they know he's getting cut. He also has done very little in the pre-season so he might not have much trade value around the NFL.

He was a highly sought after pickup this offseason with a lot of teams after him. Other teams don't really know who's going to get cut and if they want a player they don't want to risk it on the waiver wire where any team could claim him.

[backshoulderfade]

Do not like the shape of this roster thus far. People say Whalen over Carter is a puzzler but what about that Ballard kid over every player cut.

[our_dbs_rock]

It's just a hammy.

 

Wasn't that what kept him out of most of training camp?

[Dustin]

Didn't Ballard get injured also?

Yes, but it's just hamstring. Herron could be out for a couple weeks and ideally you'd want a guy with starting experience to spell Gore.

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow just Wow

[Dustin]

Wasn't that what kept him out of most of training camp?

I'm not sure. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought he was on the PUP.

[MB-ColtsFan]

It's just a hammy.

He's running out of body parts to injure.  I can't believe he's still here.

[SDakColts]

Yes, but it's just hamstring. Herron could be out for a couple weeks and ideally you'd want a uy with starting experience to spell Gore.

Plus a good 3rd down pass protecting back like Ballard.

[B~Town]

Why is dropping Carter such a big deal really even Da Rick was more polished than him there is potential but he didn't look like a NFL WR in any preseason game

[our_dbs_rock]

I'm not sure. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought he was on the PUP.

 

Pretty sure he was never on the PUP list.

[James Harden]

Really Pags? Why stay loyal to a good guy like Ballard, I know the whole locker room loves him but the guy can't stay healthy....and WHAT!? you kept Ballard over CARTER??? I'm sick of us having small tiny WRs...I atleast  want a 6'5 WR that can be physical and have high vertical. Carter is not going to the PS..He will be pick up by NE or GB...SMDH

[csmopar]

A guy who can't last 2 series and has played really in 2 years?

To be fair to Grigs / Pags.... Moncreif and Andre really aren't tiny....

I liked the potential Carter brought to the table, but he is not a physical player. He got pushed around way to much this preseason vs. teams bottom CBs. He may be tall and have potential, but he still has a lot of work.

Moncrief and Jhonson are pretty big boys and better.

if you call looking to trade him that's a good hint your not keeping him.

Also, then he has all off-season to learn your system now he doesn't. Lastly trading a draft pick for a guy is different than giving them a contract where you can release him if he doesn't workout like the Colts have done.

I also think the Colts will try to put him on their practice squad.

[LockeDown]

I keep saying don't underestimate how much our FO likes Ballard.  

[Dustin]

A guy who can't last 2 series and has played really in 2 years?

Y'all don't get that this isn't a "final roster"? Do you think we're stuck with these guys all year? If there a move that needs to be made, I assure you Ballard is on the short list of players to go.

[MB-ColtsFan]

So you think Griff has more to offer?

[Rhane19]

the team probably just wanted to cut ties of Duron Carter to distance themselves from all the announcers commenting about Cris Carter being his father.  They saw enough of it during preseason....

[K-148]

So Irving got #56 and Moore got #55.

[IndyD4U]

Why not try and get a pick for Carter? Then again, maybe we did and nobody bit

[Dustin]

So you think Griff has more to offer?

Griff can return punts/kicks and play gunner on STs, which is what you want out of a depth receiver.
