Colts release Foles to create roster space, salary cap room

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts released veteran quarterback Nick Foles on Friday, saving about $2 million in salary cap space while creating room for the 12 rookies it added last week in the draft. Those two moves leave Indy with three quarterbacks on the depth chart — Richardson, Gardner Minshew and Sam Ehlinger, who was one of three starters the Colts used last season — and assures the team of having a seventh consecutive season with a different opening-day starter. Indy also announced before its rookie minicamp began Friday that it has signed seven draft picks — cornerback Darius Rush, safety Daniel Scott, tight end Will Mallory, running back Evan Hull, defensive end Titus Leo, cornerback Jaylon Jones and tackle Jake Witt. Earlier this week, Indy waived defensive end Kameron Cline, tight ends Nikola Kalinic and Jalen Wydermyer, linebacker Forrest Rhyne, defensive tackle Chris Williams, running backs Darrynton Evans and Aaron Shampklin, cornerback David Vereen and receiver Kristian Wilkerson.
