cheerleaders to entertain US troops
Twelve Indianapolis Colts cheerleaders will leave next
week for a 25-day tour entertaining U.S. troops and their families at
military bases in the Mediterranean region.
The Colts say the cheerleaders will stage at least a
dozen 90-minute variety shows, including singing, dancing and
twirling. They plan a final rehearsal Tuesday night before they depart.
The Colts Show Troupe was formed in 2002. |
Colts waive Buster Davis
The Indianapolis Colts abruptly cut middle linebacker
Buster Davis on Monday.
The move is somewhat surprising considering Davis was
re-signed by the Colts just earlier this month.
Plus, Davis started last season when starting middle
linebacker Gary Brackett was sidelined toward the end of the season
with injuries.
According to NFL.com, Davis recorded 24 tackles in
three starts out of six games last season.
A former Arizona Cardinals third-round draft pick from
Florida State, Davis is an undersized, stocky linebacker at 5'9,”
239 pounds.
He has a prior stint with the Detroit Lions.

Colts open preseason at home
Mike Chappell
Indystar
One national prime-time appearance and a familiar face
highlight the Indianapolis Colts' preseason schedule.
The team's only national TV game is Thursday, Aug. 20
when it hosts the Philadelphia Eagles at Lucas Oil Stadium (8 p.m.,
WXIN-59). The Colts open the preseason at home against the Minnesota
Vikings the week of Aug. 13-17. The specific date has not been finalized.
After the two home games, the Colts travel to Detroit
the week of Aug. 27-31 and to Cincinnati either Sept. 3 or Sept. 4
for their preseason finale.
The matchup with the Bengals has become a preseason
ritual. The two teams, connected by a 115-mile stretch of I-74, are
meeting for the 18th time since the Colts relocated to Indy in 1984.
It marks the ninth straight season they'll meet in the preseason, the
eighth time it's occurred on the final weekend of the preseason.
Colts fans can be excused if they aren't too enthused
with the preseason portion of the season. The team has won only three
of its past 16 preseason games and hasn't posted a winning record
(3-1) since 2003.
Week 1 (Aug. 13-17)
TBD Minnesota Vikings at Indianapolis Colts
Week 2
Aug. 20 Philadelphia Eagles at Indianapolis Colts
Week 3 (Aug. 27-31)

The Colts waived reserve running back Clifton Dawson,
who played in 13 games over two seasons and totaled 64 yards and one
touchdown on 30 carries.
Panthers lose Seward to Colts
March 21, 2009
Linebacker Adam Seward became the latest
unrestricted free agent to leave the Carolina Panthers on Saturday,
signing a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts.
Seward, 26, was a fifth-round draft pick
of the Panthers in 2005 out of UNLV but primarily was limited to
special teams duty. He appeared in 40 games with two starts at linebacker.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pound Seward had
45 career tackles and battled injury problems in Carolina.
Seward missed seven games last season
with an ankle injury.
He felt as though he could have played
down the stretch and was a bit perplexed as to why the coaching staff
held him out of games.
Seward becomes the fourth Carolina
unrestricted free agent to sign with another team, joining offensive
linemen Frank Omiyale (Chicago) and Geoff Hangartner (Buffalo) and
return Mark Jones (Tennessee). Carolina's only other free agents are
defensive tackle Darwin Walker, linebacker Donte Curry and long
snapper Jason Kyle. |

Colts re-sign 3 players
March 17, 2009
The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed running
back Lance
Ball, linebacker Buster
Davis and offensive
lineman Dan
Federkeil.
Terms of the new contracts were not disclosed Tuesday.
Ball joined the team's practice squad in October and
was activated for the final regular-season game against Tennessee,
totaling 83 yards on 13 carries. Davis, claimed off waivers from Detroit,
was in six games with Indianapolis last season, starting three of
the final four at middle
linebacker. He originally was a third-round draft
pick by Arizona
in 2007.
Federkeil, signed as an undrafted free
agent in 2006, has played in 22 games with Indianapolis,
including three starts last year at right guard. He also was a
reserve at right
tackle and on special
teams. |

Colts executive VP Terpening to retire in June
March 12, 2009
Indianapolis Colts executive vice president Bob
Terpening plans to retire June 1 after more than 30 years with the team.
Terpening is one of the Colts longest-tenured staff
members and someone who played a key role in contract negotiations.
He is one of the few remaining faces from the Colts'
time in Baltimore and worked closely with team owner Jim Irsay over
the past quarter century.
Terpening first joined the organization in 1970 when
he graded films, then took a job in the New England Patriots scouting
department in 1971.
He rejoined the Colts six years later as a college
scout and worked his way through the ranks, staying with the team as
it moved to Indianapolis in 1984. He has been the team's executive
vice president since 2000.
Raheem Brock opens Wingstop restaurant
Indianapolis Colts All-Pro

chicken wing chain founded in Dallas in 1994.
Brock's Wingstop will feature

Brock plans to open two more
Wingstop restaurants in the area. |

Colts Resign Defensive Tackle Muir
3/4/2009
The Indianapolis Colts have
re-signed defensive tackle Daniel Muir, the club announced today.
Muir, an exclusive rights free agent, joined the Colts just before
the 2008 regular season as a waiver claim from the Green Bay Packers.
Muir (6-2, 312) has appeared in
nine career games, totaling 12 tackles. In 2008, he played in six
games with the Colts, finishing with four tackles. Muir joined Green
Bay in 2007 as an undrafted free agent from Kent State. He appeared
in three games as a rookie.
Muir was one of four exclusive
rights free agents offered tenders by the Colts along with running
back Lance Ball, linebacker Buster Davis and offensive lineman Dan Federkeil.
2009 NFL & Colts Salary Cap Status
The National Football League announced on Thursday the
2009 salary cap will be set at $127 million, a $4 million increase
from what was originally expected.
The additional monies added to the cap is welcome news
for teams like Washington and New Orleans, both of which were heading
into the free agency period with payrolls over the salary cap maximum.
Prior to Thursday’s announcement, the
Indianapolis Colts went from $2 million over to $8 million under,
factoring in the addition $6 million saved when the club announced
the release of wide receiver Marvin Harrison. |

Colts DT Reid Heading to Denver
According to a report by FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez,
the Indianapolis Colts have lost one of their top special teams
players through free agency.
Four-year veteran DT Darrell Reid has agreed to terms
with the Denver Broncos according to a report by FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez.
The 6-foot-2, 288-pound defensive lineman led
Indianapolis in special teams tackles in 2008 (18) and 2007 (22).
He's also a bit of a YouTube icon for the hit he put on the Titans'
Chris Henry on December 30, 2007. Commentator and former NFL head
coach John Madden called it, "One of the biggest hits I've ever
seen in my life."
Click
here to see the video, and be sure to watch it to the end so
that you can see the reaction of Colts TE Dallas Clark to the hit.
Reid has started in just two games but has appeared in
55 contests during his four-year career in Indianapolis. Originally
signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Minnesota,
Reid has logged 98 tackles and 2.5 sacks while playing for the Colts defense.
Kelvin Hayden Contract
Cornerback Kelvin Hayden will realize immediate
and immense impact from the five-year, $43 million contract he signed
earlier this month. He’ll earn $17.48 million in 2009 through a
$13.5 million signing bonus, $2 million roster bonus, $250,000
workout bonus and $1.73 million base salary. The deal also includes a
$2.25 million roster bonus in 2010, and pays him $22.645 million in
the first two years and $29 million in the first three.
Hayden will count $6.68 million
against the ‘09 salary cap.
Indianapolis Colts defensive end Josh Thomas plans
to test free-agent market
Josh Thomas' agent, Craig Domann, told The Associated
Press the backup defensive end and sometimes starter also plans to
test the market. Domann did not elaborate. |

Colts let LB Keiaho become free agent
February 27, 2009
Indianapolis Colts linebacker Freddy Keiaho is a free
agent after the team did not make him a contract offer.
Keiaho started 25 games in three seasons with the
Colts and voided the final year of his contract. He was second on the
team with 114 tackles last year.
Had the Colts offered the lowest one-year tender,
$1.01 million, and Keiaho signed with another team, the Colts would
have received a third-round pick in April's draft as compensation.
The Colts did offer one-year tenders to offensive
lineman Dan Federkeil and linebacker Buster Davis, who are exclusive
rights free agents and cannot sign with another team.

Jeff Saturday
agrees to new contract with Colts
February 26, 2009
By Mike Chappell
Indystar
The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a new three-year
contract with center Jeff Saturday tonight, averting losing a
longtime offensive cornerstone.
Terms were not immediately available, but Ralph
Cindrich, Saturday's agent, confirmed the transaction.
Consider it a case of beat-the-clock negotiations.
Saturday, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, would have become an
unrestricted free agent and hit the NFL's open market at 12:01 Friday morning.
Saturday, 33, joined the Colts as a free agent in 1999
and has developed into the anchor of the offensive line. Since 2000,
he has started 154 games including the postseason.
While locking up Saturday, the Colts will allow seven
other veterans to become unrestricted free agents: running back
Dominic Rhodes, punter Hunter Smith, linebacker Tyjuan Hagler,
defensive linemen Darrell Reid and Josh Thomas, cornerback Keiwan
Ratliff and safety Matt Giordano.
Among those, Rhodes would seem the toughest to lose.
Heading into his ninth season, he was the Colts' second-leading
rusher in 2008, finishing 538 yards and a team-best six touchdowns on
152 carries. He also ranked fifth on the team with 45 receptions that
produced 302 yards and three TDs.
Rhodes also played a key role during the Colts' 2006
championship season. |

Colts
agree to release WR Marvin Harrison
MICHAEL MAROT
02/23/2009
The Colts are parting ways with Marvin Harrison.
Harrison's agent, Tom Condon, told The Associated
Press on Monday that Indianapolis has agreed to release the
franchise's all-time leading receiver. An official announcement is
expected Tuesday or Wednesday.
The decision comes one day after team president Bill
Polian said he hoped to work out a deal that would keep Harrison in
Indy, but when Harrison refused to accept a pay cut, he asked for and
was granted his release.
"Basically, we were not able to come to any kind
of agreement, it was not contentious and the Colts have agreed to
release him," Condon said in a phone interview.
The Colts declined comment and a message was left by
The Associated Press at the office of team owner Jim Irsay.
It was not a surprise given that Harrison's salary cap
charge this season would have been $13.4 million, the highest of any
receiver in the league.
But the move will rankle Colts fans, who embraced
Harrison as a fan favorite and was one of the identifiable players in
the Colts' Indianapolis era.
The 36-year-old Harrison was coming off one of the
least productive seasons of his career and the Colts, who are
struggling to stay under the expected $123 million cap, could not
afford him any more.
The Colts will save $6 million by releasing Harrison.
Harrison ranks second in league history with 1,102
receptions and was one of the cornerstones in the Colts success over
the past decade.
Harrison caught 112 of his 128 career touchdowns from
Peyton Manning, making them the top receiver-quarterback tandem in
league history. Harrison has played his whole career with the Colts,
but has increasingly become the team's second receiver behind Reggie Wayne.
Harrison has 1,102 career receptions, trailing only
Jerry Rice. |

Colts to raise prices on upper
deck tickets
The Indianapolis Colts are
raising season ticket prices in the upper deck of both end zones by
$10 per game for next season.
Sections 624 to 629 in Lucas
Oil Stadium's south upper deck will increase to $34 from $24, and the
seven sections from 450 to 403 in front of the north window will bump
to $74 from $64, said Larry Hall, Colts vice president of ticket
operations/guest services.
The seats affected represent
about 10 percent of capacity. All are held by season ticket holders,
who have been notified of the changes in their invoices.
Hall said the $34 ticket is
still among the lowest in the NFL.
"We wanted to make the
change last year but decided to wait until we actually got in the
building to see the seats instead of just basing it on a
diagram," he said, referring to the stadium's inaugural season
in 2008.
The Colts have nine price
ranges for seats; the trick is finding an available one. All games
for next season are essentially sold out, and the team says it has a
season-ticket waiting list of about 25,000.
Occasionally, a few hundred
tickets are returned from visiting teams a day or two before games
and made available to the public. |

Favre calls
it quits -- again -- after 18 seasons
Brett Favre swears this is the real deal -- no
more last-minute comebacks.
The 39-year-old quarterback retired again Wednesday
and insisted he won't look back. Well, at least for now.
"I have no reason to wonder why you would be
so skeptical," Favre said Wednesday with a slight chuckle
after announcing that he was leaving the game after 18 record-setting seasons.
Favre, who retired last March but returned a few
months later, kept this goodbye simple -- no tearful farewell or
jam-packed news conference. He spoke to the New York Jets on
Wednesday morning, telling team owner Woody Johnson, general manager
Mike Tannenbaum and new head coach Rex Ryan that he was calling it a career.
"I have family and friends who are like, 'All
right, Brett. Is this the real deal?"' Favre said during a
conference call. "To me, it is. It is. Believe me. It's been
a wonderful career, I couldn't ask for anything more. It was worth a
shot for me to go to New York. I wish I could've played better down
the stretch. I didn't.
"It's time to leave."
The Jets placed Favre on the reserve-retired list,
meaning the quarterback's retirement paperwork had been filed with
the NFL -- something he didn't do last winter with the Green Bay Packers.
"Emotionally, I'm OK with it," said
Favre, who spent the day on his bulldozer and doing yard work on the
grounds at his home in Kiln, Miss. "I really felt like it was
time. Obviously, the circumstances last year were a lot different.
Physically, if I felt better, we may not be having this conversation,
but I think that's more than anything the writing on the wall."
Favre's decision came six weeks after his only season
with the Jets ended in disappointment as New York went 1-4 down the
stretch and failed to make the playoffs.
A major reason for the collapse was Favre, who threw
nine interceptions in those five games. He said he played with a torn
biceps tendon in his right arm that got worse later in the season and
needed a cortisone injection after the team's Week 14 game at San Francisco.
"It's something that obviously I was able to
play with," Favre said. "I don't think I was nearly
as productive as the season progressed, but it very well could be
fine next year. I'm well aware of that. But then again, it could
linger and bother me throughout the year, and I just felt like it was
time. I think that, to me more than anything, was a wakeup call."
Favre insisted that even if he felt better next
season, he's still done with playing.
"It's nothing I would second-guess, no,"
he said.
If this is indeed it for Favre, he leaves the game
with a slew of NFL records, including career touchdown passes (464),
completions (5,720), passing yards (65,127), regular-season wins
(169) and interceptions (310).
"With Brett, there was always the possibility
that he wouldn't play the second year," Johnson said. "We
were hoping to get one good year out of Brett Favre. We picked him
based on, in our opinion, his giving us the best chance to win last
season. We were disappointed not to have made the Super Bowl, but we
did some very good things with Brett."
The Jets improved from 4-12 in 2007 to 9-7, but the
late-season woes cost head coach Eric Mangini his job -- and perhaps
tarnished Favre's legacy a bit.
"I honestly believe I did everything I could do,"
Favre said. "I'm proud of everything I've done."
New York hired Ryan to replace Mangini, and he, along
with Johnson and Tannenbaum, repeatedly said they wanted Favre to
return. Instead, Favre spent several weeks after the season at home
-- at the suggestion of Tannenbaum -- away from football before
deciding to retire.
"It would've been fantastic to be coaching Brett,"
Ryan said. "It's a sad day to see him leave, to see him retiring."
The Jets now will move forward with a new quarterback,
whether that will be Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff or Erik Ainge.
"I think it's going to be a great competition
between those three," Ryan said. "And if something
else comes along, so be it."
The Jets could look to sign a veteran free agent such
as Jeff Garcia, Kerry Collins, Byron Leftwich or Rex Grossman, or
target a quarterback with their first pick -- No. 17 overall -- in
April's draft.
Clemens was competing with Chad Pennington for the
Jets' starting job last summer before Favre came to town.
"Jets fans, the Jets coaches and my teammates,
even, have not seen the best of what I have to offer yet,"
said Clemens, who started eight games in 2007.
Favre had two years left on his contract and was due
$13 million for next season, clearing a chunk of salary-cap space for
the Jets.
The three-time NFL MVP holds the mark among
quarterbacks with 291 consecutive starts, including the playoffs,
despite playing through several injuries throughout his career.
"The longevity of his career and his love for
the game is truly inspiring," All-Pro kick returner-running
back Leon Washington told The Associated Press. "I'm
privileged to have played with not only a Hall of Fame QB but also a
great role model."
After the Jets' season-ending 24-17 loss to the Miami
Dolphins, Favre said he felt discomfort in his arm "for quite
a while." It turned out to be a torn biceps tendon, and he
opted not to have surgery.
Favre said he began to realize the end might be near
when he consistently underthrew his receivers during a Week 16
game at Seattle.
"I threw it, and it didn't end up where I
wanted it to," he said. "That, to me, was an eye-opener."
It wasn't all bad with the Jets for Favre. He threw a
career-high six touchdown passes, tying Joe Namath's team record,
"in a 56-35 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. Favre
also helped rejuvenate the franchise, drawing thousands of fans to
training-camp practices.
Favre finished with 3,472 passing yards and 22
touchdowns, but his 22 interceptions were his most in three seasons.
Taken by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round of
the 1991 draft, Favre was traded after the season to the Packers for
a first-round pick. During his 16 years with Green Bay, he helped
lead the team to consecutive Super Bowls, including a victory over
the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI in the 1996 season.
"Congratulations to Brett on a remarkable career,"
the Packers said in a statement. "The Packers organization
wishes him and his family well. Brett always will hold a special
place in Green Bay Packers history, and we remain committed to
retiring his number at an appropriate time in the future."
Contract talks with cornerback
Hayden 'not going well'
By Mike Chappell
Indy Star
February 12, 2009
The Indianapolis Colts' top priority in addressing
their 10 pending free agents is retaining starting cornerback Kelvin
Hayden, President Bill Polian said today.
"You start with Kelvin and work your way down,''
Polian said.
And there's ample work to be done, which might include
the team using the expensive franchise tag to keep Hayden on the roster.
Polian said initial contract discussions with Fletcher
Smith, Hayden's agent, are "not going well. That's probably a
charitable way to categorize it. There's still a long way to go, but
I'm not optimistic at this point.''
Hayden and nine other Colts become unrestricted free
agents, and free to negotiate with other teams, on Feb. 27. If the
team is unable to reach an agreement with Hayden on a multi-year
contract, Polian said he likely would use the one-year franchise
designation on the fifth-year player.
The one-year franchise tag for a cornerback is $9.957 million.
"If we had to use the tag,'' Polian said, "I
think we would use it. We're not going to let a good player go out of
here because an agent decides that he's not going to be reasonable,
and reasonable is relative term.''
Polian said the manner with which the Hayden situation
is resolved -- a long-term contract would probably carry a lower
salary-cap figure -- will effect how the team deals with its other
free agents. That list includes three-time Pro Bowl center Jeff
Saturday, running back Dominic Rhodes and punter Hunter Smith.
Polian also said no decision has been made on the
status of Marvin Harrison. The team could free up $6 million in cap
space by terminating the contract of its career receiving leader.
"It's entirely possible (he'll return in 2009),''
Polian said.
A decision probably will be made by the end of the
month. Harrison will be 37 at the start of the '09 season and is
coming off one of his least productive years: 60 receptions, 636
yards and five touchdowns.
Darrell Reid arrested
UPDATE
Feb. 11, 2009
Colts defensive tackle Darrell Reid apologized
Wednesday for an incident outside an Indianapolis bar over the weekend.
Reid was arrested early Sunday morning at the Oxygen
Lounge on the north side.
Metro officers working security turned Reid away
because the lounge had reached capacity. Officers say Reid refused to
go, saying he was a Colts player. Police arrested him for disorderly
conduct and criminal trespass. However, prosecutors say there's no
evidence of misconduct to file charges.
"I appreciate that the Marion County Prosecutor's
office did their due diligence and decided not to file charges
against me. I believe it was the right and just decision to make.
This was an unfortunate misunderstanding and I am sorry that this
incident occurred. I will continue to strive to be the best person
and player I can be. I appreciate the support of the Colts
organization, my teammates, friends, family, fans and the community
who all believe in me," Reid said in a statement issued Wednesday.
02/08/2009
Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Darrell Reid was
arrested for disorderly conduct at a city nightclub early Sunday morning.
Reid was arrested at about 1:30 a.m. at Club Oxygen,
according to police reports.
An off-duty police officer who was working security at
the club and assisting on traffic control said Reid was attempting to
re-enter the club as it was closing.
Another report indicates, Officers working security
had stopped people from going into the club after the crowd reached
the fire code capacity. Police say Reid insisted on entering, saying
he was a Colts player and had to get into the club. After being told
several times to leave, Reid refused and was arrrested.
Driving a Dodge Charger with several people inside,
Reid asked to cut into the traffic, saying he knew the owner.
When he was told by the officer to return in an hour,
Reid backed up his vehicle and almost collided with another vehicle
attempting to exit the parking lot.
Reid then was asked again to leave the parking lot but
he refused, telling the officer he did not have to because he was a
football player with the Indianapolis Colts.
Still refusing to leave, Reid started "running
off his mouth" and promptly was arrested for disorderly conduct
and trespassing.
An undrafted free agent out of Minnesota in 2005, Reid
has spent the majority of his first four seasons with Indianapolis as
a reserve and on special teams.
Reid, 26, appeared in all 16 games this past season,
recording 19 tackles and two sacks. He also had a team-high 18 stops
on special teams.

Colts hire ex-Bucs
defensive coordinator Coyer
February 6th, 2009
Former Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Larry Coyer has
been hired to run the Indianapolis Colts' defense.
Coyer spent two years with
Tampa Bay and was also with the Denver Broncos, working as Denver's
defensive coordinator from 2003-06, four of his seven seasons with
that team.
New Colts head coach Jim
Caldwell also said Ray Rychleski had been hired as special teams
coordinator and wide receivers coach Clyde Christensen was given the
additional title of assistant head coach.
Christensen is entering his
eighth season with Indianapolis. Rychleski, who recently coached at
South Carolina and Maryland, is joining the NFL for the first time.
"Many people know the
contributions Clyde has made to the organization during the past
seven years," said Caldwell. "He has helped the Colts
function as one of the NFL's top offenses."
"Both have a wealth
and wide range of experience that will benefit our players,"
Caldwell said. "Larry and Ray have been successful in every
stage of their careers and their talents and input will show in our
on-field performance." |
