Soon they announce that Nelson has to have a back procedure and it no longer becomes about releasing him. Not going to convince me that dude is a money dude or a not trying hard dude, just not, too much mean in him.

They can still get rid of R.Kelly and Smith as soon as possible and draft O-line (2 or 3) next year.

Quenton Nelson = $12.2 million
Stephon Gilmore = $12.0 million
Kenny Moore = $7.5 million

Who gets cut and who gets traded in off season? Not sure anyone wants Ryan, but I think we save 29 million if traded and eat 17 million if we cut him. If Sam continues to get better and ends up being the guy I am sure we eat the 17 mil if we can't trade him. Still paying Sam on a rookie deal at 6th. round money so still money ahead.

Buckner is still playing at a high level, but does he want to stay?
With Franklin excelling do we trade Leonard if he gets healthy and plays solid by years end? I mean him and Franklin play the same role

Kenny Moore can go, dude has sucked.
The entire O-Line can go as far as I am concerned. They have been horribly atrocious.
I'm sure Gilmore will go. I know it is a 2 year deal but he ain't staying on a dysfunctional team. Take what we can get.

I could be wrong. But I think that's why they are not going to play Ryan rest of year. They our trying to save money on what initially was going to be owed.

I may be wrong but Ryan Colts days are done..

His NFL days should be done. He should retire.

Agreed, unless he can find a team that has a OL that can pass protect. Ryan sure can't be mobile. That's for sure

Who are the UDFA's that we bring back next season?

Here's a partial list: Ngakoue, Pryor, Faycson, Lewis, Dulin, McLeod, Banagu, Campbell, Okereke, Speed, McClaughlin.

There are a few others who I didn't include, because I don't believe that there's any realistic chance they are brought back.

Out of this list I would bring back Ngakoue, Lewis, Dulin, McLeod, McClaughlin and Speed.

I would let Campbell test the market unless he was willing to give us a hometown discount. Not saying I don't want him back, just that he should not be a priority.

As for outright cuts, Ryan, Foles, MOC and Kenny Moore.

I woulda cut Matt Pryor 3 weeks ago, but he must be a bible thumper that Reich can't get rid of.

Hope they sign Okereke to a long term deal. He is a player

I wouldn't bring back Ngakoue. Give the money to Okereke

Something else what gets me is whether the Colts should have gotten rid of Wentz?

Absolutely they should have and did. He's been a disaster with Washington.
Good athleticism, no ability to read defense, wont throw a checkdown, won't use middle of field. IMO he is just too dumb to be a NFL starter his brain doesn't match his arm. lol

Wentz gameplay stats will never match Ryan. Ryan is better than Wentz

We knew what Wentz was, I believe that all of Colts nation, except Frank Reich knew it.

other than ryan, i don't see why we need to dump anyone.

i wouldn't mind cutting ryan kelly but i don't mind letting him compete either
