(TheHuddle) Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown could be on the roster bubble according to 1070 The Fan's Jon Michael Vincent.
Analysis: Brown has never stepped up and claimed a big role in the Colts plans despite being the 27th overall pick of the 2009 NFL draft. Incidentally the Colts passed on Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Britt, Beanie Wells, and LeSean McCoy to take Brown. If he is released then rookie RB Delone Carter vaults up cheatsheets as Joseph Addai's clear handcuff.
Boost for Carter?
Donald Brown getting cut?
Re: Donald Brown getting cut?
I think Carter is already pretty much the secure #2 behind Addai. This is a more meaningful development for Evans I would think.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Agreed with this. Donald brown has been awful in every meaningful bit of action he's ever seen. I absolutely wouldn't be surprised to see him cut.skip wrote:I think Carter is already pretty much the secure #2 behind Addai. This is a more meaningful development for Evans I would think.

Re: Donald Brown getting cut?
I think Brown's draft pedigree has kept him around longer than he should be, but that leash has to be growing quite short by now.

Re: Donald Brown getting cut?
Looks like Donald has survived the Colts' cuts thus far.
So has Darren Evans.

That should be interesting.Wallace's Warriors wrote:5 RBs on the 53 man roster but it is now rumored Brown will be traded.
Re: Donald Brown getting cut?
Sadly, the Colts will most likely cut Spann and move him to the PS as they continue to make moves.

Re: Donald Brown getting cut?
Looks like they solved the logjam with some creative thinking:
Colts placed RB Chad Spann (hamstring) on injured reserve, ending his season.
It's not a serious injury, but the Colts needed the roster space. Undrafted out of Northern Illinois, Spann saw just eight carries for 31 yards in preseason action. He'll have to fight for a roster spot again next summer. The Colts will carry Darren Evans as the fourth tailback.
