Colts Waive 11 Players

The latest team to announce its roster purge is the Colts, who have confirmed the waiving of 11 players via press release.

  • Johnny Adams, CB
  • Qua Cox, CB
  • Andre Cureton, G
  • Marcus Hall, G
  • Kameron Jackson, CB
  • Nu’Keese Richardon, WR
  • Jonathon Sharpe, LB
  • David Sims, S
  • Eric Thomas, WR
  • Tony Washington, WR
  • Cameron White, FB

Indianapolis’ roster still contains 79 players — they’ll need to cut four more to be in compliance with tomorrow’s 75-man limit.

Colts Sign David Sims

The Colts have added another player to their roster, signing safety David Sims, according to Kevin Bowen of Colts.com (via Twitter). While details of the contract haven’t been reported or announced, it figures to be a minimum-salary reserve/futures deal.

Sims, 27, appeared in 15 games for the Eagles during the 2012 season, including one start. However, he was cut by the team before the 2013 campaign. In Indianapolis, Sims may have a chance to earn a roster spot, considering the club has multiple defensive backs facing free agency, and didn’t have an elite secondary to begin with. The 5’9″ safety could also provide depth on special teams.
