Didn't think we'd cut Evans and Wilkerson this quickly. Thought there were worse players at both positions.

[Hawkeyecolt]

A bit surprised by Wilkerson. I think Hull will be RB3 this year.  

[sb41champs]

None of these cuts surprise me.

 

I think several more will be cut in the near future.

I thought Evans could stick based on his college pedigree but we signed a few very good small college rbs as udfa to battle for the 4 spot behind JT,Moss and Hull.

Hull probably is a lock to make the roster. If you cut Evans without letting them battle it out in camp, that’s what that tells me. I could see him beating out Deon Jackson because of what he can offer as a pass catcher and on special teams.

This gets us down to the 90 man roster I believe.

Deon is a good pass catcher but I think Hull is a better overall back to be honest.  Hull can catch and he's got better vision as a runner than Deon.

I liked Kalinic.  He was a heck of a blocker at the end of the season.

Now sign Risner before another team does.  We need a veteran guard.

Hull will probably be the Colts version of the Chargers' Ekelar.

that was the first thing I thought when I saw his videos. we'll have to see if his speed plays at this level, but man, he looked good.

If there were any surprises from this group I would say Kalinic and Williams were guys that I thought would at least be potential camp guys.

We have a nice stable of backs

My hunch is the Colts released the guys they did NOT because they were the worst on the roster, but because the Colts are trying to do them a favor, a professional courtesy.  
 

The Colts are giving them a chance to be free agents so other interested teams have a chance to sign them before their rosters get set.   I think there are clearly worse players on the Colts roster.   When those guys get cut, there will be much less interest in them.

Yes. Even if we carry 4, I like all our options. Hill may have the best special teams value out of all of them though.

Yeah all of those cuts seem like the draft played a part. I liked Rhyne but they gave that LB from Houston a big signing bonus.

[holeymoley99]

With some of the udfa signing some actually where just camp invites with no contract and were lumped with those offered a spot. 1 RB I like who was invite who could possibly convert is Toriano Clinton U Indianapolis star back,huge level upgrade but kid does have skill.

when you have missed the play offs for the last 2 years and have the fourth pick in the draft no one should be safe.
