Jonathan Newsome's off-the-field baggage makes it unlikely that Colts will re-sign him

Linebacker Jonathan Newsome had an impressive rookie season when he tied for the Indianapolis Colts' lead in sacks with 6.5 during his rookie season in 2014. But Newsome took significant steps back during his second season, totaling only 19 tackles and a sack.

Mike Wells: I don’t see that happening. The Colts wouldn’t have released Newsome had they felt confident in his ability on and off the field. They released him less than a week after he was arrested for marijuana possession in February. Newsome wasn't convicted for the marijuana, but he was sentenced to supervised probation earlier this week.
