The Colts went separate ways with RB Trent Richardson

The Colts went separate ways with RB Trent Richardson after two disillusioning seasons with the group.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts have decreased Trent Richardson, discharging him Thursday after two baffling seasons. 

The Colts obtained Richardson, the No. 3 general pick in 2012, from the Cleveland Browns for a first-round pick with the vision of teaming him with quarterback Andrew Luck, the No. 1 general pick that year, in September 2013.The exchange wound up being a disappointment for general supervisor Ryan Grigson. 

"It simply didn't work out. I'm not saying anything awful in regards to the system, yet that program simply didn't fit me whatsoever. Me and the GM didn't see eye to eye. It was an awful marriage for us." 

Richardson lost his beginning occupation late in the 2013 season to Donald Brown. Also that was simply the begin of Richardson's issues. 

He entered the 2014 season as the starter, just to wind up losing his business to Daniel Herron late in the season. Richardson fell behind Herron and Zurlon Tipton, who spent the first piece of the season on the practice squad, in the playoffs. In the wake of being inert for the divisional playoff amusement against Denver, Richardson said that would never happen again. 

Richardson was correct; he wasn't dormant for the AFC Championship Game against New England. He was suspended for two recreations by the group after he neglected to tell it that he would miss stroll during the time before the amusement against the Patriots.Richardson missed the stroll through in light of the fact that his wife was in the clinic with genuine pregnancy muddlings. 

"Nothing would prevent me from going to work other than my children," Richardson said. "With that, I told mentor (Chuck Pagano) the circumstance. I said I could fly in or attempt to make the flight. He let me know we weren't going to dress you in any case." 

Dialect in Richardson's agreement permitted the Colts to abstain from paying Richardson's $3.1 million pay for next season in view of his two-amusement suspension. A grievance to attempt and recover some or the majority of Richardson's compensation will probably be documented.

The suspension was the issue that is finally too much to bear for Richardson with the Colts. The group became baffled with him amid the season on the grounds that he had weight issues, was frequently late to group gatherings and had poor relational abilities with group authorities. Richardson missed making weight 14 times amid the season, as per a source. 

"We had made an understanding where I'd measure 230 pounds, however it just so happens I should be 227 pounds and they didn't let me know that," Richardson said. "We've got a rundown of things we can use against the Colts where I can recover my cash. They were fining me for neglecting to meet behavior code. Not making weight is not lead code." 

Richardson scrambled for 977 yards on 316 endeavors in 29 recreations with the Colts. He neglected to break 100 yards surging in any of those 29 recreations. 

"I'll be one of the top running backs starting now and into the foreseeable future," Richardson said. "They managed Marshawn Lynch off in his third year. Take a gander at what he's doing at this point. My next stop, I'll be the starter. Despite everything I have my pride and I know who I am."
