Colts waived NT Ed Johnson.

Johnson was a great story last year, starting all 16 games after making the Colts as an undrafted free agent, but that's old news after he was arrested for marijuana possession. The Colts' interior line is in much poorer shape now, but they were willing to make this sacrifice based on principle.

Wow. Reading the original IndyStar article it's pretty clear that this isn't just about the one incident, but that the guy was on a zero-tolerance plan:

I mentioned this in the other thread.

It really says something about the organiztion that they would cut a starter from an already thin position.

Gotta give them credit especially for the caliber of player they cut.

He had major issues in college but we gave him a chance. I guess he was on thin ice here or a locker room cancer perhaps even.

Bring back Booger please.Or at least put Brock back full time at DT please.


Our DT curse continues every year.

He'll be a "Rai-duh" by Friday.

It's worth noting that the "great story" about the undrafted kid making good was directly related to his history of transgressions to begin with. This is the sort of thing that affected Johnson's draft status:

And the IndyStar article indicates that wasn't his only brush with trouble.

So basically Indy took a chance on an athletic DT who was available cheap because of HUGE character question marks, and told him he had to keep his nose clean. He very publicly failed on that, so they cut him. Props to Indy for sticking by their word despite Johnson's on-field value...but also recognize that they're merely reaping what they sowed.

Wow, props to the Colts organization. A lot of people talk about holding every player (even the important ones) to a high standard, but they actually went through with it.
