Rob Morris, the outside line back veteran and defensive tackle veteran Bogger McFarland, have been released by the Indianapolis Colts this year, according to the Colts President Bill Polian. The head coach of the Colts, Tony Dungy, felt that their release was a difficult decision to make and it hurt the entire Colt management as well. Polian said that the release of the two veterans does not mean the end of their career for Colts and he will reassess the situation if the need arises and is waiting for the free agency period to get over.
Both McFarland and Morris were equally responsible in helping the Colts lift the Super Bowl title, but the knee injuries to both players have hindered their progress in the Colts team. Dungy feels that, there are several other players who have shown good match playing capabilities and the management of the Colts have dwelled hard upon this matter, before releasing the veterans and have done so by keeping in mind the 2008 season. Polian agreed that it was hard for him to take such a decision even though it might be temporary and said that there is a huge difference between personal relationships and professional relationships. Polian also revealed that the Colts are not going to go all out in the preliminary stages of the free agency.
