Colts Roster Cuts
 

The NFL has altered the roster management rules this year. There is now a 3 step cutdown process instead of one big cutdown day which has been in place for the last few years.

Teams have to cut down to 85 players today and 80 on Aug. 24 before the final cuts on Aug. 31.


The Colts made the following moves today to reach the 85 player limit:

- waived TE Graham Adomitis and RB Darius Anderson

- placed DE Damontre Moore on the Injured Reserve list

- waived-injured WR Quartney Davis and CB Nick Nelson. If Davis and Nelson clear waivers, they will revert to the Colts IR list.

The Colts waived 3 more players today. They will need to reach the 80 player limit by tomorrow.

- waived DT Joey Ivie, LB Skai Moore, and TE Andrew Vollert

Hot Rod has officially won the kicking competition.

Today, the Colts waived K Eddy Pineiro.

o

Pineiro went 3-for-3 in field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder in his most recent exhibition game against the Vikings ...... probably enough to at least stir some interest from another team for him to try to catch on with.

o

Classy of the Colts to release him in early cuts. Allows Pineiro to catch on with another team, which he will

It lets Pinero choose his destination. The Colts could have traded him for a pick or a player. Ballard is a class guy. He didnt hold him hostage

yeah, I think we all assumed this would happen unless specks had shit the bed in camp.

The Colts made one more roster move this afternoon to bring the roster to the 80 player limit.

-waived-injured TE Noah Togiai. If Togiai clear waivers, he will revert to the Colts IR list

See if we trade anyone of our Dline now.

The Buffalo Bills claimed DT Joey Ivie off waivers.

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.

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.

I have a tough time criticizing folks who watch every single thing they put in their body be hesitant about a vax that still does not have FDA approval.

The Pfizer vaccine the FDA approved this week IS NOT the one that has been injected into millions of folks and is available now. They approved one that has only had 21,000 doses produced for testing and that Pfizer has not intention mass producing. Follow the dollars.

This vax is not like all the others we took as kids.

I don't see this as being personally critical of any individual. From the teams position, with the COVID rules in the NFL being what they are, not being vaccinated puts your team at a competitive disadvantage. That sucks if you are a fan.

Explain then.

Please provide proof of this. From what I can tell it is just more BS from people who don’t take the time to research anything.

BS

Red State Article

FDA Approval Letter
Middle of 1st page "The review of this product was associated with the following National Clinical Trial (NCT) numbers: NCT04368728 and NCT04380701."

Identification of the NCT for Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 BNT162b2 Vaccine
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04848584

Please stop listening only to Mainsteam Media and look out at other sources. This is not hard stuff to find.

You are right, its better

Per Reich, Big Q did not test positive. If he did not test positive but is on the COVID reserve list, that means he is not vaccinated. Unvaccinated players have to sit out 5 days if they are in close contact with a COVID positive person. With the weekend encompassing some of that time, he might not miss that much practice time in this instance as long as he doesn't test positive when the 5 day period is up.

Ahh yes, we should be reading the highly accurate and unbiased American Thinker! You can tell the article is unbiased because it specifically references the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic” like any reputable reporter should. Never mind that it is clearly wrong about a major part of the article - vaccines authorized only by EUA can be required by employers. You can thank at will employment laws. The article also claims the Delta variant makes the vaccine obsolete. Data doesn’t even come close to showing that as being true. But American Thinker isn’t known for facts or accuracy.

Now, if your overall point is that legally the vaccines are different then yes that is true and not exactly hidden. And I will agree there are potential liability ramifications to that. However, they are the same formulation. Basically if your concern is about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, then they are the same. If your primary concern is your ability to sue the manufacturer then yeah there may be an issue.

Warring is available again - the Cheats just put him on waivers. I think Hunter Henry's injury was not as bad as initially expected so they didn't need an extra TE. I guess we'll see if the Colts put in another waiver claim for him.

A free press is our frontline defense against corruption. Disparaging it and dismissing it only weakens that purpose. Turning towards smaller opinionated blogs and other sources with an obvious bias that is not fact checked and reinforced by the whole leads to ridiculous conspiracy theories and people storming farm feed stores for ivermectin paste.

Simply put, these right wing sites and blogs don’t usually fact check or have the resources to report on some things accurately. They aren’t usually interested in being truthful either and are more interested in pushing their beliefs. People should obviously fact check everything and don’t just accept one source of information. But turning towards small little hate blogs for info just puts you in a deeper silo.

This whole thing started because of a president who was so corrupt he had to undermine the media covering him so his voters wouldn’t listen to what they said about him. Thanks to decades of right wing radio and TV, and social media that just reinforces your beliefs, that was an easier thing to accomplish than it should have been.

Not having player vaccinated has already affected this team and its preparation. Nelson did not test positive for COVID. The only reason he cannot do any work with the Colts is he was in close proximity to an infected teammate. You only need to isolate after a contact if you are not vaccinated. It is just a matter of luck whether this season goes down the drain for non football reasons.

Did you say Luck!?!?

Lol. Check out Vox or Huffpo sometime. They’re as bad or worse than anything on the right.

And don’t forget Obama’s extensive spying on and persecution of the press. It started long before Trump.

I agree that there is a big problem with the media in this country. But it’s not just a “right wing” media problem. It’s way bigger than that.

Further, the Titans are one of the most vaccinated teams, and they are also having issues.

Whataboutism.

Show me a left wing media source that encourages civil war and violence bc “the election was stolen”.

Left wing nuts aren’t storming the capital or parking their giant pickups next to federal buildings claiming they have bomb. It’s gotten ridiculous and right wing extremist violence is getting worse.

lol

What right wing site “encouraged violence” wrt the election? I don’t recall that.

I remember left wing sites encouraging Hilary to contest the election results when Trump won. :shrug

I recall cities burning last summer while CNN called it “fiery but mostly peaceful demonstrations” in one of the most infamous moments of the whole year. And don’t forget Wapo’s “austere religious scholar” description of a terrorist because they didn’t like the fact that Trump killed him. I could keep going.

It’s not whataboutism, it’s the exact same thing.

Look, I don’t disagree that right wing sites are a problem. But left wing sites are just as bad.

It’s not as much a right or left wing problem as it is an entire media problem.

The Colts picked up TE Kahale Warring off waivers. I don't think any other roster move is required at the moment - they had an open spot with Big Q on the COVID reserve list.

Thanks, football.
