It’s now clear that the two-game suspension imposed by the Colts on running back Trent Richardson before the AFC title game had a broader purpose. The suspension, if it sticks, voids the $3.184 million guaranteed salary that Colts owe Richardson in 2015, allowing them to cut him without financial consequence.

 

Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star reports that Richardson’s suspension resulted from the player rushing his pregnant girlfriend to the hospital when she appeared to be in labor at only 28 weeks. The situation caused Richardson to miss a Saturday walk-through practice, and to miss the flight to New England for the next day’s game.

 

Colts hope suspension voids Richardson?s guaranteed pay for 2015 | ProFootballTalk

Always nice to see how some NFL teams treat their players.

 

No matter what you think of Richardson this appears to be the Colts running at least some game.

Didn't the Colts do something similar with someone else a few years ago?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'll never root for the Colts (my boyhood team) as long as an Irsay is in charge.

I am with you papa, the Colts come across as shady.

I should say, "allegedly".

I have zero respect for the Colts. The owner is a coke head trust fund baby. Tattling on the Patriots after getting beat by 40 points is one of the all time sore loser moves. This Richardson suspension, if true, is one of the most classless moves i've ever seen. Also their QB's beard is an absolute disgrace to facial hair everywhere.

Some of those are forgivable, but that last one, in the words of Charles Barkley, is turrible - just turrible.

It's obviously a bad thing to do but this will have no legs to it. It will be a non-story in a week.

As a Jags fan, I hope that dummy stays in charge. I remember a couple months ago he made a comment thanking Maurice Jones-Drew for going off against the Colts which helped them secure the number 1 pick. Naturally it lead to them picking Andrew Luck but him and that entire front office is a joke.

Jim Irsay wears Affliction tee shirts. Dude is a clown.

To be fair, the complaint came during the first half of the game when it was still a game.

Ru, you know my feelings towards NFL owners. They are amongst the greediest people in the world. If this story is true, this is just one more example...

Someone alluded to a situation with James a few years ago when he ran with the ball trying to get to a bonus instead of taking a knee. Colts seemed to get pretty mad at that.

Didn't MLB teams use to shut guys down to keep them from reaching performance bonuses if the team was out of the pennant race?

 

Colts are turds IMO.
