The Colts announced that they have released defensive lineman Arthur Jones. The move will save the team $5.15MM in cap space.

Jones joined the Colts on a five-year, $33MM deal prior to the 2014 season. He never came close to living up to that contract. In the past three years, he has played in just 17 combined regular season games, including a completely lost 2015 season. This time last year, Jones took a pay cut in order to stay with the team. This time around, he’s being dropped altogether. Injuries and underwhelming production played a major role in his release, but Jones’ PED suspension in 2016 probably didn’t help his cause either.
In the short amount of time he spent on the field in 2016, Jones didn’t really deliver. In eight games, Jones tallied 30 total tackles. When his season ended on IR in December, the advanced metrics at Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the No. 120 defensive tackle out of 126 qualified players.
can any of the Jones’s( Arthur, Chandler, John) stay off the drugs!!!! all that talent for nothing.
Come home Arthur. If I had to play for the Colts I’d be hurt all the time too. A god awful organization.
god awful organization? Baltimore will not be a contender for years to come with current roster, cap and Joe Flacco at qb. 8-8 or or worse next three to 4 years. Colts will be set in two.
I don’t think the Colts are God awful, but Grigson was. They took the first step by getting rid of him. They need to hit on a lot of their draft picks to even come close to contending in the AFC with the offseason the Patriots are having. Ravens are having a pretty good offseason too.
