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 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.

Do I think Corey Simon is going to turn into his 2004 form? Probably not. But it wouldn't hurt to work him out if he's physically able to.

James Reed was solid last year. He may not be a starter, but he can be definately be a 10 snap per game kinda guy. Which is not a bad thing.

*It wouldn't hurt to bring in a Simon here. I agree with you on that. But realistically speaking, he'd be a BIG outside chance to make the team. Knowing that he hasn't played football in a year, failed a physical, is overweight. Those are some very bad signs.

I didn't say anything about Reed or Edwards. I think we drafted our starters this past April, but that's just me.
