T.J. Green released

[BlueShoe]

 

 

[Yoshinator]

Little surprised at this.

[pgt_rob]

Not surprised. Hope he find another team somewhere, tho.

[Btown_Colt]

Hmm, seems like I read this somewhere before?

[Dark Superman]

And no one on here is surprised.

[bananabucket]

Fine by me.  Odum had looked solid.

[CR91]

Odum makes the team then

[Pacergeek]

Another busted Grigson draft pick. Ryan has to be the worst GM of all time. It's honestly hard to have such an atrocious track record of roster management

Depending on Hooker and Geathers health yes. It must mean they are fully recovered. I thought Green may stick around as insurance early on.

 there are better options on the roster right now than green to back up the starters

[Fisticuffs111]

Yeah, consider me one of the Odum fans. Hope he makes it.

[Defjamz26]

I’m not going to kick a man while he’s down. But I will say it’s not a surprising move at all. Had all the measureables but none of the skill or natural football IQ for the position.

 

Two guys from Grigson’s 2016 class both gone in the same week. Crazy. Only Kelly, Haeg, Clark, and Ridgeway remain from that class and Clark is on the bubble.

[SteelCityColt]

A sad day... I need to go burn a jersey.

Couldn't we have at least gotten a future 7th round pick for him? lol

[Coltsman1788]

Looks like some will need to find a new whipping boy.  Good luck T.J. on your next chapter.

Nahh, I dont believe Clark is on the bubble as we need someone to play either Tackle positions.

[bleevit]

I'm not surprised either. He just never seemed to make all the connections. Too bad...a great physical talent. Good luck, T.J.

  I told you spend a little extra and get the jersey personalized 

[Mike Tahoe]

Speed may be able to get you drafted, but in order to sustain you need to make plays on the field. 

Unfortunately for Green he just didn't make enough of them.  I will be curious to see if any other teams sign him.  I believe he still can improve his game, but I don't know if teams have that much patience.

Again odd NFL personalisation rules. You can’t get a name on the back of it’s the surname of a player who isn’t on your team... or that was the case when I last tried.

 Don’t have an issue with the name but the number I use has been a retired Colts # for years

[Douzer]

I rooted for TJ to become a player, but Odum competed hard in this camp and beat him out for the position. Now Odum isn't a lock by any means either once the waiver wire starts to flow, but he's had a good camp & preseason.

[TheRustonRifle#7]

Rotoworld is reporting that is a "Waived/Injured" and he will most likely be offered an injury settlement...fwiw.

I root for any player wearing "The Shoe"....I get no joy at seeing a 2nd round pick being "Waived/Injured" heading in to their third year.

I'm only happy to see him go cause he was terrible didn't know he was hurt also.

Or perhaps Robenson Therezie?

[WoolMagnet]

The guy got kicked around alot on this board.

i hope he sticks somewhere else.

[Surge89]

Interesting. While I hated the pick from the beginning and new it was a comical reach I actually thought he had a chance this year.  We have 2 oft injured safeties and he was a player who had been improving (not rapidly but steady) so I figured he had quite a bit of ammo to stay.

 

Hope he does well in his future endeavors.

[Dark Superman]

Another bust by Grigson. At least Grigson didn't throw a four year $24 million contract at him like he did to Laron Landry lol.

That's because he's under a rookie contract lol. Even Grigson can't screw that up!

If I recall the story when he was drafted was that pagano was pounding on the table saying they had to have him because teams were after him.  I think he was more a Pagano guy than a Grigson guy.

Grigson's not even the worst GM that has worked for the Colts, let alone all time.

Clark is done. Another bust of a Grigson experiment. More dead weight if u ask me. Good week. Unloaded Morrison and now FINALLY Green...

[DaveA1102]

I feel for him. Say what you want about ability to play the game but he gave it his all, even when hung out to dry at corner against one of the best offenses in the nfl on day one last year. A ridiculous call, one which Ballard took part of the blame for.

 

Some players just aren't cut out to be NFL players, even with all the athleticism in the world.....doesnt make him a bad guy.

 

All be best TJ.

It's amazing he was so bad. Think about it he had 5 drafts and as of now there are what 8 players left. I think counting Luck is being generous. That was more a product of having the top pick. We will give him 8 but we haven't made it through cuts yet. We could see more cut loose

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Clark or Good are shown the door despite our need at T.  One isn't very good there other is serviceable but can't stay on the field. Webb probably makes it we will see how the rest plays out.  Luck Hilton Kelly Haeg Geathers and Rideway are all safe. If you take a look at the guys that were cut many were straight out of the league.  He has to have one of the all time worst draft records. I'm not sure he could've done worse if he tried.

If he gets back on an NFL squad, I'll have a feeling it will be with Pete Carroll and the Seahawks.  If not, I think he stays in shape in case mid season injuries make teams call.  Otherwise, he might be headed to the AAF league to develop.  Player recruitment for the AAF starts in December I believe.
