Foles Cut
 
Foles cut today. Leaves Anthony, Gardner and Sam. We roll with 3 or is Sam doomed?

Probably depends on how Sam does in camp. He is a useful scout team QB. Especially with Levis going to Tenn.

Makes very little sense to keep him on active squad

Makes sense. I wouldn't want to see Foles out there anyway.

Glad we rid ourselves of Wentz, Ryan and Foles. All three of them just depressed the hell out of me.

It was the only logical move.

I wonder who told Ballard Foles could still play? Maybe the same numbnuts that told him Wentz and Ryan could still play?:D

Whispery nonsense

The move frees up an additional $2M+ in cap space and imposes a $1.5M dead cap charge.

Colts say they’ve cut Nick Foles.

He was scheduled to make $3.6 million in 2023.

He receives $1.5 million in guaranteed money, which is the dead cap hit against Indy.

The move creates $2.1 million in cap space.

Between releasing Foles and restructuring DeFo we created ~$4.5M of additional cap space.

I'm still curious about DeFo's restructure. Seems like Ballard thought he'd need the $2.5M this year. Without his restructure we'd be ~$21M under the cap, so don't think it's needed for the rookie class.

The rookie class will roll up to approx. $16.2M total.

Ballard may have wanted some extra money available for possible contract extensions - Pittman Jr would probably be the biggest target from the 2020 draft class for an extension.
