I hope he finds a new home soon

The Colts signed Landry to a four-year, $24 million contract in 2013 with the hope that he would be the hard-hitting safety they had been missing since Bob Sanders played for them.

Landry turned out to be a disappointment instead. He was suspended for four games for using performance-enhancing drugs last season. The Colts then placed him on the exempt/commissioner's permission list for a game after he returned from the suspension.

Landry, who finished with 104 tackles and 2.5 sacks in his two seasons with Indianapolis, was scheduled to make $4.75 million in 2015 and $5.75 million in 2016. The Colts will save about $2.2 million on the salary cap by releasing him.

Needs to move to OLB or something. Dude sucks in coverage. Which is something I don't understand because in college I always thought he was a decent cover guy.

Didn't he run a sub-4.5 at the combine? I remember being surprised how fast he was. I'm not sure why that doesn't translate into being a good cover guy this many years into his professional career.

I think he's already moving on to bodybuilding and supplement endorsements.

(Only half joking...)

No one in the Colts organization suspected?

He was never great in coverage, even in college. He was a PHENOMENAL tackler, blitzer, and run supporter though. Also, he learned the complicated Saban defense as a freshman and started 4 years.

Coverage was, is, and will always be his lone weakness. Well, that and roids.

In college that kid wrapped up. Sure he laid the wood on some blitzes, but he was a great tackler in college.

In the pros, he has regressed in this department.

Hope he got a lot of upfront bonus money.

Every time I see a picture of him like this it shocks me.

While he looks big on the field, he doesn't look that big.
