The Colts are saying goodbye to their starting center.

Samson Satele, who started 13 regular-season games and both playoff games for the Colts last season, has been released, as first reported by Mike Klis of the Denver Post.

A 2007 second-round pick of the Dolphins, Satele has been a starter throughout his seven-year career in Miami, Oakland and Indianapolis. At age 29, Satele still has some time left in him, but the Colts apparently decided he wasn’t worth the $4 million he was owed in 2014.

Satele now becomes an unrestricted free agent, and the Colts will look elsewhere for someone to snap the ball to Andrew Luck.
