Would you want to bring in Corey Simon for a look?
 
If so, let Carl know, looks like he's gonna be available.

Colts owner says former Pro Bowl tackle Simon will be released

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Colts owner Jim Irsay said Wednesday night that he expected to release former Pro Bowl tackle Corey Simon within the next few days, ending months of speculation concerning Simon's future with the Super Bowl champions.



Simon

Simon did not pass his physical over the weekend. He was expected to report to camp on time Sunday but was never seen at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.

Irsay on Wednesday tried to clarify Simon's status with the team.

"Hopefully, we'll have something worked out with that. I think he may pursue his opportunities somewhere other than here," Irsay said. "I think we may come to an agreement in the next few days and he may pursue other places to play. I think it's better to get it resolved in the next day or two."

Simon did not play last season and was eventually placed on the non-football illness/injury list with an undisclosed ailment. Since winning the Super Bowl, the Colts have been debating what to do with Simon.

"Free agency is really risky and when they came to me with the opportunity I was OK in going for it," Irsay said. "You know the risk is there and it simply didn't work out. But as an owner who pays the checks, winning the Super Bowl is a nice massaging balm cream to ease the pain."

Colts coach Tony Dungy said he had been in touch with Irsay concerning the move.

"I didn't know how far along we were but I knew that was the direction we were going," Dungy said.

I'm thinking Indy will have a tough time repeating next year. They seem to be hemmoraging players.

And no, I wouldn't bring Simon in.

He failed his physical, and didn't do much in Indy. I would much rather bring in Tank Johnson than Simon, but I think we are fine without either. I honestly would have no problems if the Chiefs signed him though, if hes good enough to make the team I would be all for it.

Wouldn't hurt to take a look. If he can get healthy I would rather have him than James Reed who sucks.

Of course we should bring him in, just to take a gander and see how he works out. I mean, come on, did he really fail a physical? Or was it a Simeon Rice type deal? I think it was more about contract disputes than a failed physical. We need to sign this guy or Tank Johnson. Point blank(period)

Is Carly Simon (circa 1975) available for a close look?

That would work ........ :)

I'd take Johnson in a heartbeat.

Reerun_KC 08-02-2007 08:26 AM

Why waste the time when you are trying to get younger and better? Nothing like trimming the dead fat weight off your team then people clamoring to add it back...

HemiEd 08-02-2007 08:30 AM

Carl dodged that bullit once, I am sure he can do it again.

Mr. Laz 08-02-2007 08:58 AM

not unless he's lost 200lbs already

Hootie 08-02-2007 10:17 AM

No thanks.
