This is the right thing to do just as kicking him off the team was the right thing to do. People deserve to get the consequences of their actions as well as they deserve to get second chances.

I’m glad he is back on the team.

The Colts are ridiculous this year. This team should be the best Colts team in franchise history, but they still have to play the games.

Because no matter how deep the D-line looks right now, Big Ed is one that has proven he can play at a high level in the NFL. As much as I like Moala, TT, and the free agents, they’ve never played a snap in the league.

I agree with bbxxj…they Colts have made the right move twice with Ed. Let’s hope he’s learned his lesson.

Gotta be, right? I don’t see us keeping more than 5 DTs on the roster, especially with Brock still somewhat in the rotation. You gotta be stoked about our depth at DT right now. WOW!

Big Ed would be a fool to even mess with drugs again. I’d be nervous if I were him to try and win back that locker room. I know the other players loved the guy, I remember interviews with Brackett and other defensive players when they let him go. Hopefully the legal ramifications and guilt have been payment enough.

Anyway, again our DT depth is sick right now,

NT
E. Johnson
A. Johnson
Taylor

UT
Moala
Foster (Passing Downs)

Grady on the Practice Squad.

Ed Johnson will have to actually show that he has stayed in shape and is prepared to play again. I have my doubts about this right now. If he does prove to be in shape and ready to go, however, we’ll be in an even better spot than we already were with the other DT acquisition in the last 6 months. Here’s to hoping Ed is ready to play.

It was Johnny Hopkins and Ed Johnson, and they were blazing that shit up every day.

the whole drug thing happened so fast I never came to realize he had 10 FREAKING TACKLES against the BEARS! NOW I’M STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT WHO’S GONNA MAKE THE ROSTER AND IF WE’RE GONNA MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS!

Maybe.. but in all reality, Marijuana should be at least decriminalized… in fact, polian when talking about harvin a few days before the draft suggested that the public perception of marijuana is drastically changing in many states, and thus he wouldn’t be opposed to drafting such a player… the quotes out there somewhere.. might have been on the radio…

no idea how it posted it 4 times:?

On the one hand, from a purely football perspective, I like the signing. On the other hand, what message does this send to the dressing room re: breaking team rules?

So I guess I’ve mixed opinions on this, which seems to be something of a running theme with me and this offseason.

You paid for your mistake, and we paid for the mistake of letting you go instead of suspending you….Equal offset… A couple of recommendations:

1) Hire a chaffeur Ed. (This way you can party on the road under the ambiguity if being responsible/irresponsible)
2) Hire a good attorney, (who can advise or “suggest” ways around inconvenient character flaws
3) Work your tail off…(they gave you a shot Ed, then they gave you another one) we need you, you need us…don’t let us down again.

Ed Johnson is a good football player. The Colts are a team of integrity. I am not advocating breaking the law, and thinking Ed should try to get around it…but WE ALL HAVE weaknesses….Ed’s are his nasty cataracts…….

He obviously worked hard to prove to the organization that he’s trying nto starighten himself out. Obviously Irasay understands….HE PARTIED WITH Hunter S. Thompson regularly.

Nww we are only potentially weak at WR (just not enough proven depth) we should lhave kept Armoshadou and the next legacy back-up QB. (WE NEED OUR STEVE YOUNG -esqe back-up!!!!) WE DEMAND IT!

GO COLTS!!!!

The Colts and Johnson had a zero tolerance policy in place due to Johnson’s checkered past at Penn State.

I hope they didn’t have a policy in place. Cutting a player based on an arrest is against the rules of the CBA. Any action must come from the NFL, not the teams. Now, they can cut him because he’s a 7th rounder nobody (not saying Johnson is a nobody) but they can’t cut him because of the arrest (same difference, I know I know, just clarifying a bit).
