Found this interesting.  Colts had 9 picks in the 2024 draft and have cut 3 of them while trimming down to 53. 

I don't know anything about the players but thought it was at least unusual.  The players cut were selected in the 5th, 6th and 7th rounds. 


"As NFL teams cut their rosters down to 53 players on Tuesday, the Colts announced that among their cuts were cornerbacks Jaylin Simpson and Micah Abraham and defensive tackle Jonah Laulu. All were selected during this year's draft."

Too many picks, not enough roster spots. Now, did they sign FA's to the Roster? Then the next ones cut will be the scouts.

uconn: I never pay attention to AFC teams, but this year I dug deep into Colts (reason unimportant).

I predict they will be the number-one surprise team of 2024 (in a good way).

I'm asking you to keep this in mind (in case I forget) and hold me to it, especially if I'm wrong.

PS. I mention it now because this thread's subject matter supports my idea that Indy has an fine team this year (which might even be a great team).

Anthony Richardson is the real deal.

Ed: I agree.

He was the difference-maker in changing my evaluation from contender to AFC top three team.

We'll see.  Their depth is not optimal, but it's better than the Giants have.
