On its face, the move doesn't seem all that noteworthy. Herremans hasn't played since being benched after Week 2, not even being a consideration over the last few weeks, when the Colts were down two starting linemen. Instead, both Lance Louis and seventh-round draft pick Denzelle Good got opportunities.
Herremans was once a good starting lineman in Philadelphia, but age (33) and injuries have caught up with him. His career is likely done.
His release could have come at any point in the last 12 weeks, honestly.
But then we remember how Herremans got to Indianapolis, which was a free-agent deal worth up to $3.
