Something that Indianapolis Colts fans have gotten used to in recent years is waiting around for players to be released whose salary far outweighs their actual production. Whether it’s because of injuries, age or a lack of performance, sometimes there are players who are just making way more than their on-field worth.
With Super Bowl XLII now in the rear-view mirror, teams around the NFL can now begin cutting these players to create more cap space for the start of free agency in March. The Raiders already cut David Amerson (saving $6 million), and the Saints cut Nick Fairley (has a potentially career-ending heart condition).
