Colts dump starting guard Ryan Lilja | ProFootballTalk.com

He is only 28 years old.....& healthy !

Healthy?!? He had multiple knee surgeries in 2008 and missed the entire season.

Colts' interior OL was blasted this season. Wouldn't touch Lilja.

Well, nevermind. I should try reading the articles from now on. This certainly answers one of my questions...

Ultimately, the Colts need better run blockers and Polian decided Lilja was only going to get in the way with a hefty base salary.

But... is he a good fit for what we do? If yes, I wouldn't mind seeing him brought in for a visit. That bonus is certainly do-able for a starting calibur RG who helped protect Manning. If not, eh.

Polian doesn't make too many mistakes,the guy is a genius with talent

Steer clear of guys that leave good teams that is not because of the cap.
