Cardinals release Cory Redding

[bababooey]

per PFT, clears 3 million in cap space

[BullsColtsFan1]

I liked Redding when he was with the Colts.  He was old but he was a good locker room vet. 

[IndyD4U]

Time to hang 'em up big fella. I always loved hearing him speak; you could hear his passion 

[pgt_rob]

Great person. He's getting to be at the end of the road.

[12isthenew18]

I feel we should bring him back. We have been missing leadership and we can't say he doesn't have it

[Myles]

I'm in favor of the Colts picking him up if he's willing to sign for a fair amount.    Leadership and size.    Colts need both.   Redding has both.

He is a little bit too old i think we nd to g younger and go with younger talent we saw what signing washed up players did last year nothing.

[Buck Showalter]

Its one of those deals, if there is an open roster spot for D-Line depth, give the guy a year deal to bring some leadership & tutelage to the young guys on the D-Line & some stability to the locker room...

Hearing the rumors from last years fiasco of a season seems like it could be worth it, & if he signs for cheap enough, but doesn't beat out the competition, then wish him the best and let him be on his way...

 

Lord knows with what A.J. brought to the table, a similar scenario could have been extended to Wayne last season...

[aaron11]

pass for now, and possibly draft a guy at his position

 

maybe give him a look later if we need the depth

 

vet minimums could be a problem, he isnt worth millions per year now

[21isSuperman]

He'll be 36 in November.  It might be best for him to either hang 'em up, or wait a few weeks or months and sign on with a contending team, kinda like Freeney did last year.

He was good for us 2 years ago.   I think his size and leadership could be beneficial.  

Gore was good last year.  Not at all washed up.

ive gotten some heat for saying this, but gore was not very good last year imo

 

he wasnt terrible, but not much better than average, maybe even below

 

going by ypc he ranked something like 38th in the league.  there were guys running behind lines that were just as bad or worse and they did better.

 

gurley and rawls for example, though they were both rookies, they are still getting compared to gore.

I always liked Redding. You can't but help root for the guy. Sorry to hear he got released by AZ. 

 

I just feel bad for NFL vets that relocate to a new city, get settled, & then cut. Maybe it's just that I'm extremely loyal to former Colt players & I hate to see their careers wind down. 

 

Good luck Cory. I hope you find a new football home by training camp or at least invested your money wisely enough to live in comfort the rest of your civilian life anyway.

Last years numbers are skewed.   With a crappy offensive line and no threat at QB, a RB could not succeed.   Gore did better than anyone could hope for.

that describes the rams too though, and gurley did succed

[Myles]

The Rams had a better run blocking line than the Colts.

[IinD]

No idea if he'd want to coach, but the guy has position coach written all over him. He's that scary type of dude you'd be afraid to let down because he could literally kick your butt..

 

Players and coaches both seem to love him wherever he's gone..
