Default Colts Cuts

@Colts 2m2 minutes ago
We have released CB Charles James, LS Matt Overton and S Duke Williams: http://indcolts.co/JzEfju

@Colts 1m1 minute ago
We also waived LB Alex Bazzie, P Devon Bell, LS Joe Fortunato, ILB Deon King, S Stefan McClure, CB Larry Scott and WR Devin Street.

only one I'm a bit upset about is Matty O, otherwise no big surprises here, maybe Street?

Overton and, to a lesser extent, Street are surprises. Who is the new LS?

No idea because they released Fortunato too, but I seem to recall there was a LS among the new UDFAs.
But this is a real wtf moment for me, Overton has performed well enough for Vinatieri to make his kicks, he isn't exactly expensive, or old.

I believe with them cutting Overton and Fortunato, that only leaves Thomas Hennessy who was signed just a few days ago

OK so I checked the UDFA thread. Some guy named Hennessey from Duke.

1) If you don't think the NFL is a business, you're wrong. #Colts cut long snapper Matt Overton today. Was going to make $900K this yr.

2) They're expected to sign rookie free agent Thomas Hennessey from Duke who will probably make rookie minimum of $465K.

apparently this Grand Sinning (whoever the hell he is) hasn't been a fan of Overton for a while.

Also glad to see 3 long snappers on the roster so we can get rid of Overton

I dunno how you can have a bad opinion of a long snapper. If he's doing his job, and it's easy to see if he is, then what is there to be unsatisfied about? I don't really care that much, it's the long snapper.

I was hopeful that Antonio Morrison/Edwin Jackson might be amongst the cuts.

Oh well.

Cutting Overton seems odd, but I suppose it's probably not something that's going to be too noticeable.
