Coltzilla talks guys who have moved on
Before we get into the roster it is good to review what players the Colts have lost and have yet to re-sign who would be front-runners over players currently on the roster. Those players would include Marlin Jackson, former first round draft pick, who has already suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will likely miss the 2010 season. Tim Jennings played a lot of time in a reserve role with the corner backs, primarily as a nickel, but is now with the Chicago Bears and cannot be re-signed until his status with that franchise changes. Aaron Francisco was signed last season to replace Matt Giordano as a long-time back-up safety and special teams contributor, but he was released at the end of the season and no rumors of his re-signing have surfaced since.
Freddie Keiaho was a starter two seasons ago but suffered injuries that limited his time and was replaced by Clint Session and Tyjuan Hagler but served as the primary back-up to Gary Brackett in 2009. He may not be re-signed because the Colts drafted Pat Angerer to play behind Brackett in the second round of this year’s draft. Tyjuan Hagler started the 2009 season as the starting strong-side linebacker but suffered a ruptured bicep injury and was replaced by Philip Wheeler for the remainder of the season. He has not been re-signed and Coach Jim Caldwell recently indicated that no plans have been made to do so at this time. Raheem Brock, one of the most versatile defensive linemen on the team was granted his release and has yet to catch on with another team but no official discussions of his return have leaked.
