That would be the goal. A couple late round picks that might be waived:
Thomas Brown Atl
Mike Hart Indy
Peyton Hillis Denver
Allen Patrick Balt.
Jalen Parmele Mia

Some other RBs that might be on the bubble
Alonzo Coleman Dallas
someone from the Chiefs will be cut:27 Larry Johnson 26 Jackie Battle 21 Kolby Smith 25 Jamaal Charles 29 Dantrell Savage

I would love any one of these 3. I believe Hillis is going to not only make the team but be a weapon. I drool over the prospect of a FB like him.

I have really liked hart since he was in college. he isnt the fastest guy on the field, but he always seems to get yardage. if something happened and the texans could get their hands on him i would be elated.

I don't think Hart is going anywhere, he looked really good in Indy's last game.

I agree. If the Colts were going to release a RB, it would probably be Kenton Keith. They added (back) Dominic Rhodes in the offseason, so with Addai, Rhodes and Hart, they may have the three backs they want. I'm not sure they can risk floating Hart to the practice squad anymore.

Keith was a CFL star before joining the Colts. He started for an injured Addai against the Bucs last season and went off for 121 rushing yards (4.3 avg) and two TDs, plus another five receptions. Just turned 28, and he had an off-field incident where he was charged with criminal trespassing at some nightclub. Story goes that the cops were trying to break up a crowd and instead of complying with orders, Keith chose to whip out his cell phone to record the incident.

i really doubt the colts let a guy slip away who is going to get immediate run and probably a contract from in-division teams. however, if they do i don't think we are at a point with RB's where we can overlook anybody, especially in this system that claims to make a 1,000 yard rusher out of grandma's and such. hart, keith...whoeva.
