Now, my beloved Colts have to make this all work. Love Dwight. Hope he can make the transition.

Redding is a 3-4 DE. Freeney is a 3-4 OLB. Mathis said it himself on his Twitter. Redding’s addition never had any impact on whether or not he was traded or cut.

The Colts didn’t shop Freeney, other teams asked the Colts about a possible trade.

Also there is the fact, that Irsay has no problem giving Freeney the cash, and you can sign a new contract, that pays Freeney the same 14 million with a 10-12 million cap number and is voided after one season.

He likely will not be in Indy this coming season. Doesn’t make sense.

They are better off keeping him and trying to win some games. They owe that to their fans. The younger players they are building around will benefit from the remaining core of that defense. Nobody learns much from losing.

“we were wrong on this one too – in fact we weren’t right about much regarding all the Colts moves”
