Colts Waive RB Matt Jones

Maybe we're one of the teams talking to the Patriots about Deion Lewis.  I bet Ballard and Belicheck know their phone numbers by now.

Will Redman have to stay on the active roster for 3 weeks now or could we put him back on the ps after the game? Redman is absolutely horrible but I understand they needed a body,  just hope they don't have to leave him there any longer than possible.

A swing and a miss. He turned the stone on Jones and apperently didnt like what he saw. There are going to be quiet a few players that seem like a waste but as long as they are truely going to put the best 53 man roster together (even though they have to tweak around injuries) that is what has to happen.

 

I would always rather look and say no thanks than not look and miss out.

I agree to a point, but this and the Dorsett trade are real head scratchers to me.

Well. you have 53 but you can only dress 45. 

 

Yeah, that's my point.  The original reason to limit game day roster size was to equalize competitiveness.  They were afraid teams would just ad specialty players to the roster, i.e., a guy who only blocks kicks, etc.

 

Well, that ship has sailed, the NFL has a ton of specialty players who go in depending on down and yards.

 

But the reason the NFLPA AND the owners should fight it is because you may have injured players in the game while a healthy scratch is sitting.  The owners are paying these guys, I'm sure they want them to play.  

 

Anyway, that's my rant, which has nothing to do with this thread.  I'll move on now....

I think we can put him back whenever. If im not mistaken the 3 week rule only applies when you sign a player off another teams PS.

I agree!!! Were in trouble if Constazo gets hurt in the game.

Maybe Jones fumbled the ball when Chuck handed it to him?

Was the ink even dry on the contract?

I believe he'd have to be waived and clear waivers before he could be offered a spot on the PS

What kind of ink do you use?

Nice Avatar! Lol.

I think k this has to do with his contact. Does his salary get guaranteed if he is on the opening day roster? Might get resigned after tomorrow.

Not if you're thinking long term.

Right now, Chester Rogers showed a lot more promise than Dorsett.

Brissett may very well end up being our backup for the future and someone who can win us a few games.

we need all the guys we can get on the o-line, jones must not have impressed, i like how ballard moves on from players, he dosent keep them just because he picked them

Basically the complete opposite of our old GM. He even let Spence go after giving him a $750,000 signing bonus.
