Yawn: Colts release Bryan Fletcher (1 Viewer)

Colts released TE Bryan Fletcher.

Another unanticipated move, and one Peyton Manning probably won't approve of. Fletcher was a consistent performer for the Colts, catching 18 passes in each of the past three years as a No. 3 tight end. GM Bill Polian apparently feels comfortable with Jacob Tamme and Tom Santi behind Dallas Clark. May. 2 - 10:35 pm et

Rumor has it, they are freeing up money to sign Roosevelt Colvin.

this was very surprising. I always thought Fletcher should be more involved.

Colts rookie camp showed what they have in Tamme. Cheaper version of Dallas Clark and better than Fletcher.Fletcher will stick somewhere. I'll guess Miami.

Tamme is CLUTCH. He'll be like Ben Utecht minus half a step, but with better ball skills, that doesnt get hurt three times a year.

They cut G Dylan Gandy, too. My thought just after the draft that if Fletcher and Gandy got cut, then they did their job in the draft. It just happened earlier than expect.

I don't think this is to free up money for Colvin - this is to get the number of players to 80 for training camp - to get as many young players a chance to make the roster as possible.
