Lilja failed Colts physical

According to Adam Caplan: NFL Reporter, Host-Sirius NFL Radio, profootball.scout.com, he did.

If this is old news to you guys, sorry. I just saw it.

Not saying we shouldn't snag him, but something else to consider.

I heard 2 conflicting stories

He failed the physical and the Colts cut him because he’s too small and they want to improve the run game. i think he’s 6’2 290…

Sign him anyway!!!

I don’t think the Colts would’ve paid out a roster bonus to him if he’d failed a physical. I’m sure there’s a contract clause that would allow them to keep that money.

+1

Give him your own physical, if he passes, let’s get him in here.

yeah and caplan has a question mark in his tweet

I also wonder if a failure is due to recovering from some sort of injury or due to general lack of fitness. It would be nice to know.

No

The question mark was from the person who was asking the question.

His ‘tweet’ was just ‘Yes.’

get him

i’m sure the colts can afford to have way higher physical standards than us anyway

He was due a bonus. Just like all these other guys that "failed a physical"

Nah

They actually paid the bonus, it was guaranteed.

He was due another 3 mil in salary, and cut him presumably to avoid paying that.

Rumor I heard is that he was cut for cap reasons...

With no CBA there is no cap penalty when players are cut. Lilja was going to cost Indy more than the guard they have ready to replace him who apparently is ready to go.

Sorry wrong blog…haha

he's at LEAST worth a FA visit...

I’ll make some calls :)

* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB

Once he does "Body By Haley"

he’ll be fine.

Id do it

by SillyHatDay on Mar 11, 2010 4:27 PM CST reply actions

sign em

bring him in for a workout at least…

also hearing Mike Martz in Chicago doesn’t see TE greg olsen fitting in his offense.
Olsen is a 2nd round tender, we got two picks in the second…dude is solid, caught 60 last year with 8 TDs
