More cap massaging

Safety Bob Sanders is among players who have provided the Colts with salary-cap savings in the offseason.

The team saved approximately $1.6 million by converting $2.17 million of his $5 million roster bonus and prorating it over the life of Sanders' deal. Sanders will count approximately $6.1 million against the cap. The Colts are about $7 million under the $127 million cap.

Colts give linebacker a chance

The Colts signed Tyrell Sales, a free agent linebacker from Penn State. While in college, he twice was involved in off-field altercations and recently was cited for driving while intoxicated.

"He had some unfortunate incidents," coach Jim Caldwell said. "One of the things that happened as a result of it is he took responsibility for his actions."

CMQ linea sana in running game sano diceva quello...avere già da subito tutti e non a pezzi come l'anno passato ci farà partire un pò più tranquilli

Riguardo a Collie: effettvamente sembra uno in gamba (aspettiamo però a dirlo) e se è bravo pure nei ritorni tanto meglio visto che i nostri special sono sempre stati un nostro tallone d'Achille!

Sono curioso piuttosto di vedere la capacità di Brown di adattarsi agli schemi offensivi nostri...

Sanders uno di noi!!!

Mi sembra un giocatore bravo a separarsi dal CB e sa anche ritornare bene i kickoff.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed defensive tackle Ed Johnson, the club announced today.

Johnson (6-2, 296) joins the Colts after starting 16 games in 2007 and one game in 2008 for the club.  Johnson, who has 73 career tackles, originally was signed as a free agent by the Colts on May 5, 2007.  He had 63 stops, 49 solo, with one sack and one forced fumble in 2007, filling in for injured defensive tackle Booger McFarland.  Johnson had 10 tackles against Chicago in the 2008 season opener.  He was waived September 11, 2008.

“We are giving Ed Johnson another opportunity to play for the Indianapolis Colts.  We
dismissed Ed last year because he knowingly violated a team rule in the area of personal conduct.
We consider every violation of a team rule or NFL policy on an individual case-by-case basis,
and we evaluate a possible return to the team on that same basis.  Ed understands our team rules
and our mandate that players represent themselves as professionals at all times.  We feel the
lessons Ed has learned will allow him to be what we demand from our players,” said Colts Head Coach Jim Caldwell. 

“I would like to thank the Colts, especially Jim Irsay, for this second privilege to join the team.  I apologize to everyone for the situation I created last year.  I have learned valuable lessons from my mistake, and I want to re-gain the trust of the organization, my teammates and our fans,” said Johnson.

Executive director of the NFL Coaches Assn. Larry Kennan says Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore is strongly considering retirement.
Indianapolis already lost OL coach Howard Mudd over dissatisfaction with the league's revised pension plan for coaches. Kennan says Moore, too, is fed up and "just about" to retire. NFL coaches probably got themselves into this situation, though. They never organized a union and lack protection.
