Colts president Bill Polian says NT Ed Johnson's release was "directly related to weight" issues.
Coach Jim Caldwell had previously called it a "performance" issue, and Polian confirmed that Johnson's "effort" and "production" had dropped since Week 1. He was reportedly 15-to-20 pounds over his prescribed 295-pound playing weight. Johnson should draw interest from teams desperate to fix their run defense.
They guy he'd be replacing has "weight issues," too, so it feels like a good fit. Maybe we should bring him in, anyway...
