Default Colts releasing Pierre Desir

Per Rapoport:

The #Colts owed Pierre Desir almost $7M this year and have no dead money against the cap. But they did extend him just last year, paying him $9M in 2019. Now, he’s a free agent.

That is the only way this makes sense. I mean, we had $45M in cap. Maybe they asked for a redo and he balked. Someone will snatch him up.

Just added the second tweet from Rapoport.

Looks like it results in $6.85MM in cap savings (with no dead money) according to the website Overthecap.

$45MM doesn't include the Rivers signing. It was closer to $20MM after deducting the Rivers contract and prior to this move.

Desir was not expecting this move, I can tell you that.

Colts release Pierre Desir.

Indy's cornerbacks at the moment:
— Kenny Moore
— Rock Ya-Sin
— Marvell Tell
— Quincy Wilson

Cutting Desir was a financial move, I'm told, but team hasn't ruled out bringing him back if opportunity presents itself.

Weird move. Do we really need the cap space? Targeting another bigish signing?

Goes a bit against what ballard used to preach in terms of competition, play well, get paid. Maybe they weren’t happy enough with his play last year.

I left for a long time just fed up with the overall NFL product in general, not necessarily anything happening with the shoe. Of course now I am parched and my stomach rumbles with hunger pains...

Consider me puzzled... Desir can play the position, maybe it is a question about chronic injury that will limit him going forward... otherwise I don't get it...



I don't like the Rivers move, why, who the F is he going to throw to? I get the whole "as recently as 2018 he was in the MVP hunt late into the season", but man- we got NOTHING going at WR for him to work with this year...

I love Buckner, should free up Darius to get back to running around smacking people downhill... and listening to him on the radio, I think that dude is going to come in here looking to prove he may be 1A to Donald's 1 this year but looking to take the mantle the following year.

Any good FA CB"s left? I doubt it. I guess we will draft another CB or two and hope they play well.

Yeah I didn’t see this coming either, perhaps not as valuable with Hopkins gone
