Colts Roster Cuts

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

The Colts were looking to add to their TE group. They placed a waiver claim for TE Kahale Warring.

Ultimately the Cheats had the higher priority order so New England was able to successfully claim him from the Texans.

New Patriots TE Kahale Warring was a popular target on waivers, with the Colts and Saints also attempting to claim him, per source.

New England had highest priority and acquired the 2019 third-rounder.

One of Ballard's favorite trading partners - the New York Jets - has a bit of a need now as well with a few of their players going down with an injury.

Jets are also pretty high on waiver wire priority so they have no urgent need to offer tradebait for anyone likely to be cut next week

The Colts and Jets have previously made a trade with very similar circumstances - the Nate Hairston trade.

The Jets were high on the waiver priority order that offseason but they wanted to make sure that they acquired Hairston. The Jets agreed to send a conditional 6th round draft pick to the Colts for Hairston.

I don't know what type of playing time conditions were attached to the trade - Hairston only played in about 35% of the Jets defensive snaps the following season - but the Colts returned the 6th round pick back to the Jets.

In the end, the Colts traded Hairston to the Jets for nothing.

The Colts placed LT Eric Fisher on the COVID list today. That move opened up a roster spot and the team signed TE Andrew Vollert for the last preseason game.

Big Q joins Eric Fisher on the COVID list. Hopefully this doesn't affect his rehab too much.

Sounds like it got into the trainer's room.

Of course it did. When you're the least vaccinated team in the NFL, this had to be expected.

I'm not so proud of this organization right now.

Yeah, it sucks there's so many anti vax nutters on this team.

This is already costing us. How nice is it going to be when we lose the left side of our line because of COVID protocols during the regular season? For a team that has big aspirations and wants not to miss even a tiny thing that could hurt our chances of winning this is idiotic.
