The Colts have released 27-year old safety Tom Zbikowski. He played in 11 games for the Colts last year and he had 38 tackles, 5 passes defensed, 1 interception and 1 sack. He also returned 6 kickoffs for 123 yards (20.5 avg) last year. He has now played in 64 games in his first five years in the NFL and he has 126 tackles, 2 sacks, 9 passes defensed, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 sacks. The Colts should be o.k. without Zbikowski.
The Colts have waived 25-year old TE Dominique Jones. Jones played in 4 games for the Colts this year and he caught 1 pass for 8 yards. This is not much of a loss for the Colts as they are loaded at TE. Jones’ roster spot would be better served for another player right now with the Colts pushing for a playoff spot.
The Colts have released 27-year old DE Antonio Dixon. Dixon played in 2 games for the Colts this year and he had 1 tackle. Dixon has now played in 37 games in his first four years in the NFL and he has 51 tackles, 3 sacks, 5 tackles for a loss and 2 passes defensed. This isn’t much of a loss for the Colts moving forward.
The Colts have released 30-year old RB Mewelde Moore. Moore played in six games for the Colts this year and he carried the ball 9 times for 14 yards (1.6 ypc). Moore also caught 4 passes for 36 yards (9.0 avg) with a TD grab and he also returned 3 kickoffs for 50 yards (16.7 avg) this year for the Colts. With Donald Brown back and Vick Ballard stepping up, the Colts just couldn’t justify giving Moore a roster spot any longer. Moore should be able to hook on with a new team, but the Colts won’t miss him too much.
The Colts have released 25-year old CB Justin King. King played in 3 games for the Colts this year and he had 3 tackles and 2 passes defensed. King has now played in 38 games in his first four years in the NFL and he has 116 tackles, 11 passes defensed, 1 interception, 5 passes defensed, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery. King didn’t play too well for the Colts this year, so he won’t be missed.
The Colts have waived 25-year old CB Brandon King. King played in 4 games for the Colts last year and he had 2 tackles. He has played in 8 games in his first two years in the NFL and he has only 3 tackles. This is no loss for the Colts as they have tightened up at CB in the off-season.
The Colts have waived 25-year old Deji Karim and 23-year old Darren Evans. Karim played in 12 games for the Jaguars last year and he carried the ball 63 times for only 130 yards (2.1 ypc). He also caught 14 passes for 120 yards (8.6 avg) and he returned 27 kickoffs for 652 yards (24.1 avg) in 2011. Evans played in 2 games for the Colts as a rookie last year, but he didn’t carry the ball. These are not big losses for the Colts moving forward.
The Colts have released 35-year old long snapper Justin Snow. Snow played in 16 games (0 starts) for the Colts last year. He played in 192 games (0 starts) in his 12 years with the Colts. I’m certain that Snow will be on the speed dial of a lot of GMs phones in case the need arises for a long snapper.
The Colts have released 25-year old TE Brody Eldridge. Eldridge played in 13 games for the Colts last year and he caught 9 passes for 45 yards (5.0 avg). He played in 27 games in his two years with the Colts and he caught 14 passes for 84 yards (6.0 avg). The Colts won’t miss Eldridge as they used two high picks on TEs.
UPDATE: Brody Eldridge was quickly claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Rams.
The Colts have waived 25-year old WR Blair White. White played in 7 games for the Colts last year and he returned 7 punts for 22 yards (3.1 avg) but he didn’t catch any passes. White played in 20 games in his two years with the Colts and he caught 36 passes for 355 yards (9.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs. He also returned 17 punts for 102 yards (6.0 avg) with the Colts. This is not much of a loss and White showed nothing last year for the Colts.
