Just like a scene from the movie “Invincible”, public open tryouts in Indy to be a Colt.

Their legacies with the Colts will be forever remembered by the organization, fans and Indianapolis community.

Really….Painter will have a legacy?

Ha…..

i understand letting go of Addai, i could even understand saying bye to Brackett, but to Clark, nope, dont understand. you may lose Garcon!! you will lose Wayne, why basically have no WR talent!!?? they better go crazy in free agency and get a TE and WR because if they dont then they better hope that Jeffery or Fleener falls in their laps

Sad to see Peyton go, but it’s nice to see a team know win to clean house. Pretty sure the fans will be able to cope with 1 or two losing seasons after 10+ great ones. Most of these guys were oft/injured anyways. Addai sucks, Clark looked lost last year without Peyton and Tamme has emerged as a very reliable option the past two years. They should have a ton of money and roster space to work with and will have a very good team soon.

Much like my Lions did after their infamous 0-16 season the Colts are cleaning out the deadwood. They won all of 2 games with these guys, so really how invaluable are they? Most had poor seasons last year and/or were injured and are in the twilights of their careers. You want to have young guys that can grow with Luck and play together for the next 3-4 years.

These are good long term moves. Colts will suck next year again but this is about building a winner in 2014 and beyond.

I think the whole ex-colts should come as a package deal (perhaps Miami or AZ)!

It’s going to be hilarious to watch Colts fans poop themselves when the Colts take RGIII in the draft. Luck to Washington, so he can be close to his parents.

Ya, all the Colts fans at home games (both of the them) will be wearing throw back jerseys.

RG3 has to be so happy he’s not going first. This is a mess.

@TSizzleBallSoHard

I think the Colts could easily sign a guy like V-Jax to a low front end contract with a spread out guarantee that pays out big in years 2 and 3 for instance. Cortland Finnegan would probably take the job pro bono just for the chance to stick it to the Titans a couple times a year(joking). This team is planning for the long term and I think if they can sell some of the top free agents on that fact, both success wise and financially, they have a shot at grabbing some big names. I understand the ramifications of what they’re doing but they’re positioning themselves to hand out a few big contracts and grab guys that can help them avoid a trifecta of 2-14 seasons…

This is exactly what the Colts needed to do. Three years from now they could be contending again. If they had kept these players these same players would be completely useless in 3 years without winning anything in the interim. This year they may win one or two less games without these players. Small price to pay for getting your salary cap in line and being able to rebuild.

They’d better hold onto somebody or else Andrew Luck is going to pull a John Elway and tell them he won’t play there.

Its pulling an Eli Manning. Elway used baseball as his out.

Well, I guess the Colts fans do love their jerseys, and since there’s going to be a switch to Nike anyway, they might as well change every part of it…

Maybe this year their PR staff won’t object to giving Pat McAfee that big banner if he wins the contest again since he is now the team’s star…

As a Bucs fan I feel your pain Colts fans, even when you know that the players time is up, cutting all the fan favorites at once is never good. I just hope Luck dosent pull an Elway on you.

yes, that 3rd rate bum curtis painter is finally eliminated from an NFL roster thank GOD, that pathetic clown shouldn’t be allowed to even attend NFL games in the stands, he should be required to stay at least 20 miles from any NFL stadium for the rest of his life

Sounds like Indy is going back to the old Baltimore Colts plan of winning.

Doesn’t take long to clean house and build back up and become a powerhouse, The Cowboys got rid of Tom Landry and everyone not named Michael Irvin…. For the next decade they dominated and won 3 superbowls.

Packers cut a ton of Mike Sherman’s players and loaded up on the draft building thing… they won superbowl 45 and went 15-2 last year…

Lions were 0-16 in 2008, they were in the playoffs in 2011….

@touchdownroddywhite

The Colts won’t be able to afford any big name free agents this year. Even though they cut all of those guys all of there money is now dead money. All of those guys are still going to eat up their cap this year. Next year they’ll be able to make some moves but they won’t be able to afford a Mario williams, V-Jax or Courtland Finnegan this year, so they’ll probably havea top 3 draft pick next year too.

The colts were 2-14 last year with all those players. Now they have a rookie QB and no other players. 0-16 is in the bag.

What a bunch of idiots making fun and being critical of the Colts. ‘Oh they will have the #1 pick for the next 5 years’, blah, blah. Sure I think Irsay’s tweets are stupid!

Do you guys have any idea what re-building means? Why do the Colts have the #1 pick? Because they Sucked without the great Manning. Did they win with all of these other player’s? So what is the loss. Did anyone think that with drafting Andrew Luck that the Colts were going to the Super Bowl next year? In the NFL, with 2 or 3 years of good drafts and free agent moves many teams with new Coaches and Front offices can turn thigs around.

Just like in my home town, too many folks that think they know more than the experianced football guys. This is not Irsay making these moves now, they have a new GM who is making the talent evaluations.
