Colts cut Bob Sanders

Bob Sanders, the safety whose tremendous talent has been overshadowed by his inability to stay healthy, has been released by the Indianapolis Colts.

Colts owner Jim Irsay revealed the news on Twitter, thanking Sanders for his contributions to the team, noting that he had a Super Bowl interception and a defensive player of the year award to his credit.

When he’s healthy, Sanders is nothing short of one of the best players in the NFL. He had an impact on the Colts’ defense that few players in the league can match, which is why at the end of the 2007 season he was named the NFL’s defensive player of the year and rewarded with a contract that made him the league’s highest-paid safety.

But he just hasn’t been able to stay on the field since then: In the last three seasons Sanders has played in nine regular-season games and missed 39.

Sanders has indicated that he knows he’s going to need to take a pay cut, and the Colts may still be able to re-sign him. But first he’ll test the free agent market. He’s free to sign, right now, with any team that’s willing to take a chance on a talented but injury-plagued former star.

Now that's just unnecessary. That won't heal 'til 2012.
