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.

$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.

Had a disappointing 2019. Battled injuries throughout.

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.

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.
