Does Released Ram James Laurinaitis Make Sense for Colts?

With the Los Angeles Rams recently releasing inside linebacker James Laurinaitis, it begs the question of whether the Indianapolis Colts could potentially be a suitor.

Originally a 2nd round pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2009, the 7-year inside linebacker has been incredibly durable anchoring the middle of the Rams defense:

James Laurinaitis played 99.7 percent of all defensive snaps in his career for the Rams (7,498 of 7,519). Only missed 21 snaps in 7 seasons

The former Ohio State Buckeyes standout is coming off a season in which he started all 16 games for the Rams defense, recording 109 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and an interception.
