Good to hear. Didnt play up to his contract last year. 

[MTC]

Wish him well. He gave us some quality play during the '17 and '18 seasons. Glad he was able to re-vitalize his career here.

[Yoshinator]

I remember Hunt started late and now he's probably in his 30s? Good role player, but it's time to let the kids play and get experience.

[Lef]

Approve

He's 32 and he did some good things here in 2017 and 2018, but basically disappeared last season.  Partly due to a change in position, I suppose.  No big loss and I wish him well.

[CR91]

No surprise. It saves 4 mil. Fully expect Hoyer to be cut next

[dodsworth]

Hunt was nonexistent on the front last season so this is expected.

I fully expect 2 new players on the interior of the defensive line

this year.

[stitches]

That was expected. He had a couple of really good seasons with us, but fell off a cliff last season. I liked how he played in previous seasons and wish him nothing but the best, but this was the right thing to do. 

 

 

[Myles]

A good guy.  I hope he finds a team that suits him.   

[Smoke317]

It was time.  He was almost invisible this last year compared to previous ones.

the first 3 are not released, but retained. 

[GoColts8818]

I wish him well but this is the right move.

[IinD]

To bad, had a great first season with us.

He'll end up somewhere though, hard worker and no drama.

[DougDew]

Obvious

[Thunderbolt]

Sad for him and his family, but you have to produce in this business and he didn't.

[krunk]

Knew that one was coming

Whats the cap space after DeForest? Around $48M

 

so, QB and hopefully a WR or CB

[Myles]

I wonder if there is a chance that Hunt will return if no other team shows interest.  

Might be decent in a backup role.  I seem to recall his best play was when he was in on just some spot plays in years past.     

[Dogg63]

Old thread about an old Colts player. He's been picked up. Good for him! Hope he does well.

 

 

[Four2itus]

Wasn't he originally with the Bengals?

 

Duh....just looked at the picture. Sometimes I really show my stuff....
