Eberflus surely trolling our LB cuts because he knows Ballard can pick these guys

Apparently Stallworth is sticking with the Chefs (at least for now).

He was a vested veteran so he did not go through the waivers process and instead automatically became a free agent after he was cut. I would have thought he may have received an offer or two from other teams. But he chose to stay with KC for now as a member of their practice squad.

Of course, teams can still poach him off KC's practice squad as his agent hints at below.

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing my client DT Taylor Stallworth to the practice squad. Was on the Colts roster the last couple of seasons and will likely be on somebody's active roster soon.

The Colts will open up a roster spot soon as they will place Trevor Denbow on IR. They will use the roster spot on OT Dennis Kelly.

S Trevor Denbow (foot) is going to go to injured reserve.

Colts don't think it will be the whole year, but he's going to be on IR

The Colts essentially swapped OT's with Buffalo. Ryan Van Demark has decided to join the Bills practice squad. I guess with this move, he will be closer to home.

OT Ryan Van Demark is signing with the Bills’ practice squad, per agents Ness Mugrabi and David Canter.

The Colts offered him a role on their practice squad to stay in Indy but he opted to head to Buffalo.

The dude is the new Josh Thomas.

Not a good comparison IMO since Thomas actually saw the field on game day. Also, Thomas was an UDFA instead of a wasted high round pick.

Maybe he thinks it's a better scheme fit for him there as well since he struggled here so much.

That's kind of a weird shuffle. You would think we would have kept Kelly in the first place. Guessing Ballard thought he would able to land someone more ready to play than Tenuta on the waiver wire?

If the Colts wanted to bring back Denbow off of IR this season, then Denbow needed to be on the initial 53 man roster.

So they needed a roster spot for 24 hours.

If you pick a vested veteran as the cut for that roster spot, that player won't be subject to waivers. The Colts may have even told Dennis Kelly that if he waited a day or two and not pursued other free agent openings that the Colts would sign him back to the active roster.

That all makes sense. I was more referring to us re-signing Kelly and not Brown since we kept Brown over Kelly on the original 53. Although maybe Brown cleared waivers and we were able to sign him to the PS before re-signing Kelly.

It was a smart move by the Colts to work Kelly like that.
