Colts cut starting center Samson Satele
 
Worth a look?

The Colts are saying goodbye to their starting center.

Samson Satele, who started 13 regular-season games and both playoff games for the Colts last season, has been released, as first reported by Mike Klis of the Denver Post.

A 2007 second-round pick of the Dolphins, Satele has been a starter throughout his seven-year career in Miami, Oakland and Indianapolis. At age 29, Satele still has some time left in him, but the Colts apparently decided he wasn’t worth the $4 million he was owed in 2014.

Satele now becomes an unrestricted free agent, and the Colts will look elsewhere for someone to snap the ball to Andrew Luck.

with Mack tagged, a definite maybe

This guy really epitomizes what is going to be a legitimate complaint by the Players Association: he is one of many, many vets losing their jobs this year as a cap casualty.
PA is going to make a big push for salary cap increase because this list is getting longer and longer

Maybe the PA should at home at the QBs,T and WR eating up the cap space.
I would say $130ml a year split between 60 is a pretty heft amount considering that a fair few of the 60 will be low paid UDFA/VETS and rookies on the new rookie pay scale

If he isn't worth 4 million, I'll pass. DLP is worth about that and played better as the season progressed. I think we either resign DLP, or go with Elliot and a draft prospect.

I still think we need to upgrade the center position. We need a road grader and dlp spent too much time being pushed into the back field.

Sure they are.
So are Graham and Jenkins. So were Harper and Greer.
If you read all of the threads, you'll see that it's true. You just need to ignore grades, stats, and interest from other teams.

Though some players excel in some places more than others, I'd rather geaux draft or UDFA than make a parallel move from DLP to Satele...

DLP did improve, or did that improvement curve coincide with Jahri Evans health improving as well?!?

Either way, I'd like to invest a draft pick in a Center like Larsen or Bodine and maybe extend an opportunity to a real hungry UDFA...

Give that candidate a legitimate chance for the dignity of NFL stardom and having Drew Brees hands up his arse... ;)
