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

[weslo1812]

My biggest issue is we have little to no depth on our D line and we very scarily young and inexperienced. I like the potential of alot of the guys we have but too young!!!

[our_dbs_rock]

What's that say about Duron? Since a guy who has been released multiple times made it over him.

 

I think it says Grigson has a hard time evaluating returners.

[FloridaColtsFan]

This is the only reason we kept Ballard, IMO.

 

LOL, I remember that. What an effort. If only he could stay healthy !!

I think they might target one/some of the veteran lineman that have been released over the last 24 hours.

[K-148]

Ballard wants to give his locker to Red Bryant in person.

[Jackie Daytona]

Ballard wants to give his locker to Red Bryant in person.

I'm ok with that.....

[earlsmitley]

im glad whalen made the team. he reminds me a lot of rietz. not a star but does a lot of stuff right or good. I never thought whalen was that bad at punt returning. I also think carter goes to ps.

[HGRekks]

I feel people underrate Whalen way too much. Sure he's not a star but he plays about as well as anybody would expect a #5 wr to play. He has solid hands also.

That's the thing, to me. Teams like to often keep high upside projects on the back end of the roster, but the Colts have that at 3 and 4 WR with Moncrief and Dorsett. Griff is the modest upside #5 with reliable hands and crafty enough route running.

[il vecchio]

I just looked at our current D-line and laughed..

 

"Current" is the operative word.

[HtownColt]

How in the world did Sheldon Price make the roster?

[Jdubu]

So you think Griff has more to offer?

In the scheme of a group of receivers, yes, Griff can be the guy who knows the system well and can just sit down in a zone and catch that ball for the first down while the speed guys clear out the space for him. With Andre and Ty being solid vets and Moncrief showing high potential, you need the unsung player and Griff fits that way better than Carter at this stage. I really hoped we could fit Carrer in here and develop him but currently, Griff fits a need.

gotta have someone to drop when a d lineman is brought in

[COLT in J-ville]

A lot of people thinking Carter was a terrible cut.. Does everyone remember the massive vitriol spewed over the Drake Nevis cut? Lol.. I think they have a good idea who should make the team.. Better than us at least. Let's keep it positive. I'm excited for this roster!

[PeterBowman]

Whalen could be this teams Welker...in a way

[GoColts8818]

Again, these are final cuts not the final roster. I fully expect a dlineman or two to be brought in.

[RockThatBlue]

Griff isn't bad on special teams either. He's one of the more solid players on the team and never gets credit. Oh well.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Thank God they got rid of Slug chapman. Waste of size, space and a roster spot. Now let's sign some dlineman to mentor our youngins..

[NewEra]

DL looks pretty thin

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Surprises Chapman, Hughes, Carter over Whalan, Guy over MacDonald, Ballard is good I am glad he stayed!!

[ClaytonColt]

These cuts are just bizarre, It's like they picked them out of a hat.

 

None of the guys who have gone are superstars by any means but the balance is all over the place.

[SteelCityColt]

I knew I should have had a bet with Aaron that Carter was getting cut

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Would like to see Bray & McDonald on practice squad!

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Go sign Phil Taylor please!

[SteelCityColt]

Yep the cuts were all Abby hat picks.

[PeterBowman]

I bet Guy made it because he ll be the new ST gunner

[Superman]

Reggie Wayne just stole $450,000 from the Patriots!  

You sly dog. I see you.

 

Word is he asked to be released, and will be giving back whatever signing bonus he received.

[csmopar]

Probably didn't like the unethical atmosphere over there...

[Gavin]

"Right situation".......AKA he wants back on the Colts to finish his career this year.......I like Whalen but lets be serious now...I'd take Wayne with 2 good arms (Though he don't sound healthy) as the Colts 5th WR

[Hammer]

Soon, all the cut/roster threads will be in here and will be far too time-consuming to find anything of interest. Heaven forbid if the 'Andrew Luck commercial should get knocked off the 1st page.

[ColtJax]

Reading so many people saying we fought off all these other teams for carter, sure other teams were interested, he's a name and he was free. If he was more than that we wouldn't have gotten he for basically the minimum..

[TKnight24]

I dont get why anyone is surprised we kept ballard. he pulled his hammy who cares. you really thought that was enough for the colts to give up on him? not to mention who knows if boom can even play next week

This week Hammy..... next week ACL

Too many injuries is why I'm confused

[ColtRider]

Probably didn't like the unethical atmosphere over there...

To me, Wayne asking to be released speaks very large volumes to me. He realized something very quick as not to be associated with. Hope we find out the "real" reason. And I hope it's not reflective upon anything he's done negatively or has to do with him personally on that basis.

[zo6scott]

  It's like they picked them out of a hat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i bet they didn't

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Yeah.....we're gonna trade for jj watt and Eddie lacy......

 

I guess that means no more draft picks for the next ten years..............................

[rock8591]

For sure another signing on the DL...either Dockett, Red Bryant, or Louis Nix.

 

No way we roll into camp with essentially 4 rookies and 1 veteran on roster.

[csmopar]

I guess that means no more draft picks for the next ten years..............................

In madden....it'd be worth it . Yes I know this isn't madden. I don't even play madden

[CR91]

you dont know that.

If you're trying to say he didn't want to play for New England because they're some sort of Evil Empire and he didn't want to be associated with them -- that's pretty hard to believe.

 

More likely,   he showed up,  saw that he couldn't cut it in camp,  and decided it was time to retire.

 

You may be right -- but the odds are very, very long.

[Coltsman1788]

I share your concern...we are ridiculously thin and inexperienced on our defensive line now.  Hopefully, the Colts are planning on bringing in a solid veteran tackle from somewhere.  Not sure I'm feeling too confident about us winning the Super Bowl with this D line as it currently stands.

Exactly, and on top of that, it's not like Reggie didn't know who the Pats were before he signed the contract.
