I'm not at all surprised the Colts cut C Jake Kirkpatrick. Not that he's a bad player or anything; he could probably play in the NFL. But there were four centers on the roster (and one guard who can play center in a pinch), and the other three were all signed by the Grigson regime, while Kirkpatrick was sort of a holdover from the Polian days. He was also the smallest of the group, and the team is trying to get bigger up front.
Of course, Kirkpatrick's departure leaves an open roster spot. The usual wags are expecting it will be filled by a corner — yes, Mike "Possum" Jenkins has been mentioned. Indeed, the fact that the Colts have not yet announced who'll take the spot supports the Jenkins theory. Teams usually get someone in right away unless there are problems like trade compensation or contract details. Both would give some strength to the Jenkins theory, because the Cowboys have been posturing about retaining him and will probably only be traded if he and his new team can iron out a long-term contract extension.
