richard pallo Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Well, that came out of nowhere. A truly solid player for the Colts who could play many positions and play them well. Don't know if the team saw this coming but that should make acquiring a G or tackle in FA a given. Now who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21isSuperman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Bummer. I liked Reitz. But his on-the-field play is not irreplaceable. Looks like Le'Raven Clark might be thrown into the starting lineup whether he's ready or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollygagger8 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 That sucks! He was money at Left Guard, and decent depth along the line. Thanks for all you did for the Colts, Joe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to find the silver lining and an additional $2.5M of cap space will have to be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esmort Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I wonder if he was told that he likely was not going to be part of the new GMs plan moving forward, and he just decided to retire and move on rather than try to fight for a roster spot elsewhere.

Colt Overseas Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thats a crazy stat where we have turned over our complete roster since 2012 except Vinny and Costanzo. This is probably a bad reflection of Grigson in some way. Any best of luck to Reitz in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJpalmbeacher2 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just heard him on Dakich. Seems he has nagging injuries and wants to walk away healthy and wifey expecting their 4th.

Valpo2004 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks for what you've given for the Colts. That said I'm glad this has happened. I felt like his play was declining (that back injury may have been the cause) and Haeg is sort of a younger version of Reitz. This frees up 2M in cap space for us.

Given his injury history and declining play as a result, I think this is his body telling Reitz that it's time.... When your body says it's over... then, it's over. The NFL is unforgiving.....
