ESPN is reporting that the Colts have released Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai, Melvin Bullit, Gary Bracket, and Curtis Painter. They are also shopping Dwight Freeney. Reggie Wayne is expected to be released, and of course we all know about Peyton Manning. Pierre Garcon, Jeff Saturday, and Ryan Diem are all still being decided on as well.
I would expect the Colts to keep Garcon, but I don't know much about Saturday or Diem's situations. I would be shocked if they let both lineman go though.
Does anyone else think that they may be over-reacting to last season? Manning is out the entire season, and they had a terrible year. Is it really that surprising though? They had no back-up QB on the roster. I mean they have been a play-off team over and over until last season, so it seems kind of foolish to just start over after one unfortunate year. They easily could have kept Peyton, and the others (Not Painter, he sucks). Traded their first pick for 3 first rounders and a second like the Rams did, and stack up some great new players. All the while keeping thier main core of players that have done so well for so long. Use one of the 2nd round picks on a good back-up for Peyton, and have been set with extra 1st round picks for three years.
That way rather than having to start completely over, it would have been a nice smooth transition to a younger group of talent.
