Don't believe it
No other sources are reporting this. I don’t believe it until the Colts confirm it. He hasn’t been arrested for anything (that I know of) so I don’t see the motive since he is our best DT
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
Interesting
He seemed to be doing fine this year. Can only mean good things for Muir, Foster, and even (gasp) Moala.
This can't be right.
Ed has been playing amazing this year since that Miami game. Florio has to be wrong in this.
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: I'm pretty sure there was a whole lot of swearing when this gem was first produced.
If Florio is indeed wrong in this, BTW,
Nobody on this site should go to PFT or mention Florio’s name around here ever again.

WHAATTT?!@?!??!?!?
No. no. no. no. He’s been playing really well!!!!!!!
This can’t be true. Nope. Not gonna buy into it. (please don’t let it be true)
"I throw, you catch. It's NOT that hard!"
Peyton Manning, SNL, 2007
Still on colts.com roster
No change there. Indystar still has zip/nada on this.
I just cannot grasp the idea that he would blow the opportunity the Colts laid in his lap by doing something ignorant.
If Florio got this wrong, I am fashioning a Florio voodoo doll.
No way
No way in hell. No arrest from what I know. No word from anyone else. This can’t be true because I don’t want it to be. Florio is making shit up again.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."

PLEASE tell me this is horse shat.

Like Terry Bradshaw's death
Florio is bullshitting.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
PFT is quite accurate
I hope its not true, but florio is rarely wrong. Except for Bradshaw being dead, hilarious! Also, others have “made it rain” while on probation.

lol at title sarcasm
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Wait for an actual cited source.
If it is true, it has nothing to do with his play.
And if it is, we’ll be OK. Muir has been playing very well in his chances.
In other unrelated news, Colts.com posted an interview with Ed 5 hours ago. Keep an eye on that. If it disappears, that could be confirmation.
I'm very upset
if he is gone. Because he is an idiot if he did something and it screws up the Colts line again. This better be false.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
If it's true I wonder who they're making room for?
"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino
They aren't making room for anyone
Since this would be a behavioral cut.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Because if it wasn't
That means Polian had suffered serious brain trauma for cutting a very good starting defensive tackle, a position that has been weak for years now.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Aaron Wilson is repeating it on the National Football Post
but he writes for PFT so it’s probably the same “unnamed league insider” source
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
I just heard, He was arrested on a drug charge. I"M SERIOUS

This is crazy,,,
I find it hard to believe that, givin a 2nd chance like Ed was, he would screw up again.
The way our defense is set up, it puts me in situations where I'm one-on-one in making tackles on running backs. When I go into it, I think I am going to win. It really doesn't matter the size, height, weight, whatever. I'm not afraid of putting my body in there." - Bob Sanders
He would have to be so stupid to do this
And I don’t think that he is. This is like, retarded gangbanger stupid if he was arrested again.

Has to be drugs
Why cut a good player? If he’s not performing well enough to be a starter, then just bench him.
That's what I was thinking.
Ed’s days as a football player are officially over. Luckily, Mookie, Foster, and Muir are playing out of their minds right now.

that come even close to this kind of shock? I honestly can’t think of any.

But that was like half of this.

His re-signing was a pretty big shock too.
I’d have to say the closest was Pitcock retiring like a day before training camp.

Lets not go overboard like we did with the Tony Ugoh benching
Like Cass said, we’ve got some good players behind him in Muir and Foster. We even have a 2nd round pick who hasn’t played yet. Ed Johnson is good, but he’s not an essential part of the team.
He’s still listed on the Colts.com roster, Indy Star isn’t reporting anything, neither is SI or ESPN.
Florio is a hack, so I’ll believe it when I see it.
Bob Sanders eats a forest on Friday so he can lay the wood on Sunday.

Adam Schefter is not a hack, though.
I haven’t ever seen him wrong in my entire life. I will bet you anything I own that he’s right.

here we go again, Big ED had me beliving
i was starting to belive that having ED was key to the teams success stopping the run since miami game , CJ was shutdown because he didnt dare to ran between the tackles and always chose to go outside ,i think Big ED scare the hell out of RBs, what a loss to this team , so once again a big ? regarding how effective the team will be against the top RBs on the nfl, with out a big scary dude they will bring it right to the middle. Its a sad day for me
If Big Ed...
…got cut for drugs again then F*CK him. He can do that crap when he’s retired but he’s messing with the Colts D-line chemistry and that PISSES me off. We finally have a good run defense and this idiot is screwing it up.
If its true…good riddance. If its not…I’m an enormous douchebag and will roll Ed’s joints for him for a year.
Well,
he lasted 4 weeks longer than last year!

No,
20 years is Junior Seau. Favre still has a couple years left for that.

Not sure
But it’s not good. Not as bad as losing Freeney, Mathis, or Bethea, but not as replacable as some others.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Jury's out.
He was horrible against Miami, but good in the other games he played. Foster, Mookie, Muir, and Brock should be able to pick up the slack, but the run D and penetration in the middle should suffer some.

Probably also hurts our end of game conditioning
that is helped by a decent rotation.
Though if Fili replaces him on the roster, that might not be the case.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
Okay, so now wadda we do?
Fili Moala begins his NFL rookie season? John Gill gets signed to the 53-man roster?
Adrian Grady gets signed to the practice squad?
I would want to sign Grady to the 53 man roster
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
He's been cut from 3 teams.
I know that is not the deciding factor (see: Jeff Saturday), but it’s not a good sign for his ability.

Deep? Yes.

I want to be optimistic and think that maybe it's not true
But i just don’t own any glasses shaded dark enough blue. This definitely sucks. I’ve always liked him and really enjoyed the redemption story. I imagine his teammates have to be pretty upset with him.
And really, how do you not quit drugs in this scenario? Especially considering his career. Hell, I used to smoke way too much weed in college and basically quit when I got to law school to protect a potential career. I really hope for his sake that he didn’t get caught for/with weed again. It would just be sad.

White Collar Criminal Procedure and Adjudication
and it’s a 3 week class ending tomorrow, so tonight might be important.
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
Ironic
given this thread
though it raises a question… why would white collar criminal procedure be different from any other criminal procedure… isn’t that discrimination of some sort? violation of due process? (this from the plethora of law classes I’ve taken – 1 in undergrad and 1 in grad school)
How can you not love a team that does this?
not to go off on a huge tangent
the technical procedure is the same but the procedure of how these cases actually shake out is different. it’s obviously different to try and investigate/prosecute a super rich huge company vs. a low level street criminal. Plus, the procedure is oftentimes dictated by the laws at issue. The white collar laws are generally pretty different because it’s a harder crime to prosecute.
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
By the way,
I’m not mad at Polian or Caldwell at all for taking a chance on Ed Johnson. It was a low risk/high reward decision at the time, and it just turned out on the negative side. I can’t blame Polian/Caldwell for this.

Yet we don't know why he was cut yet, we can only speculate.
I don’t live anywhere close to Indy so I cant watch news relevant to the situation, but it sounds like Big Ed is shocked…
"Peyton Manning feels no pressure, he applies it"
what did he say?
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
This came from the colts.com forum from someone who lives in Indy.
“Well that didn’t work out to great. They just showed ED on channel 13 and he’s not even sure whats going on? He said as of yesterday he thought he has been doing great and playing good and then today?? He says he has no idea whats going on? I guess we will know soon enough I guess”
"Peyton Manning feels no pressure, he applies it"
If thats true, it likely rules out any problems with the law. I suppose he could have failed a drug test but if thats the case I can’t see how he is surprised.

Surprised he got caught?
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Of course that's what he's say to the news.
The Colts don’t treat guys like that.
"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino
they got a year and change of pretty good DT play
for a minimum salary and a roster spot
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

Exactly what I was thinking.

oh yeah - all blame goes to big Ed if this is confirmed as second drug issue

roster manipulation by Polian
Maybe we’re all hyperventilating over nothing. Maybe Polian is just being tricky and cutting Mr. Weeds temporarily while he manages some other roster trickeration.
On that note, may I have another bourbon and caffeine free diet pepsi, please?
What other team would want to sign a two-time loser out from under us?
I dont understand this move at all
I havent heard anything about Johnson getting arressted of doing somthing to get arrested. What the hell is going on here?!!
Hey!
Maybe Ed Johnson just sucks…?
Is he the Ron Meeks of DTs?

Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.
Dogging it?
I’m wondering (as BigBlueShoe posted at http://www.stampedeblue.com/2009/10/13/1084024/welcome-to-schmuckville-population) if Big Ed was one of the players to whom Polian was referring on his radion show (as mentioned by SpazMo at http://www.stampedeblue.com/2009/10/13/1082817/to-whom-is-polian-referring-quotes).
different language
colts.com says “waived” and couples it with info about signing Stover to fill in for Adam V. So maybe the he gets re-signed later or signed to the PS? Maybe it’s just a roster move and nothing more and the Colts figure he’s the least likely to be stolen away by another team because of his past.
I had been thinking the same thing
but I wonder whether Big Ed will be willing to put in the work required to earn his spot back after what was a seemingly blindside move
How can you not love a team that does this?
