PrintAlready gone are Marlon Favorite, Ray Fisher, and Adam Terry. Maybe Fisher and Favorite will come back via the practice squad. Maybe Terry will get re-signed after Week One. Who knows.
What we do know is that by roughly 4pm today, the Colts must have a roster of 53 active players. This means we will see a flurry of activity today. The Colts have, at least, 19 players they need to release. It is also very possible they will sign a cast-off veteran or two from one of the other team trimming down their rosters.
In past years, key contributors like Dan Klecko, Rocky Boiman, and Aaron Francisco were scooped up on days like today.
While SB Nation Indiana is covering the first Saturday of college football, with writer Travis Miller in South Bend credentialed for the game, we will be helming Stampede Blue to make certain all Colts player transaction news is available.

Just keep him off the moped.
So the Bills have at least 3 or 4 OTs better than him?
I guess when you have shit at the QB position
yer priorities are a little different

He was cut on the 30th of August.
Not sure that’s a sign we don’t want him or just wanted to evaluate who we have now more.

From Buffalo Sports Daily on the Bills cuts:
“Of the three, only Calloway is a surprise and a mild one at that. The Iowa standout was drafted in the seventh round by Buddy Nix and appeared targeted at having an excellent chance of making the roster, but was outplayed so far this summer by multiple backups, including undrafted free agent Cordaro Howard. With Jamon Meredith and Kirk Chambers poised to back up starters Demetrius Bell and Cornell Green, not to mention injured fifth rounder Ed Wang on board, there was no room for Calloway.”
Interesting…
The Bills blog here didn't seem surprised either.
The roster guess there has a lot of O-linemen so apparently Calloway wasn’t cutting it at all.
In other news, they think they’ll cut James Hardy (sorry IU fans) but are keeping David Nelson. Bill McNeal is on permanent injured reserve and I’m not sure who has Joe Garrelli or Matthew Brock (probably the Glitter Kitties for Brock). Hi NewsRadio fans.
Should be an interesting day.

No matter how many caps you use, that should never happen.
And won’t.

I know
he’s very clever. We’re all idiots because we want the Colts to pick someone up to fill a need. We should all shut up and not talk about anything, because KingRichard says we’re stupid to do so. I figured I’d pretend he wasn’t be an ass.

NFL cuts
Follow the destruction of many men’s dreams. Almost in real time!
kind of sad
a lot of these guys skated through college in a football major that leaves them with nothing if/when their dreams are crushed.
College programs need to start re-emphasizing academics. Not to fool some easily fakeable scholarship requirements, but just to make sure these guys can do something – anything – worthwhile if they don’t make it into the early rounds of the draft and get set up for life.
Hell, even some guys that do make rosters for years are still at risk… Bethea was signed to such a small contract that if he got hurt before this last one, he’d still need to start over. He’d have money in the bank, sure… but not tons.
OK, everyone, you just witnessed a very rare moment of humanity and compassion from me.
Now, off with their heads!
Cookie Cookie Cookie starts with C!
Well said
I am wondering though why we enjoy (myself included) to follow this so closely, predators-like satisfaction.
Probably...
because we would all be cut from the team too. Misery loves company. Now, to those cut, go get a regular job like the rest of us!
yeah well
they kept Sorgi for years … and then replaced him with Painter. So that isn’t a huge surprise. Wonder if he is still eligible for the practice squad
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
Pretty sure he is
He wasn’t on an active roster for a year, right? He should clear waivers and make our PS.
