<p>The Turk came for some yesterday but not for others. &nbsp;Today, he will end a few more Colts dreams as Chris Ballard signs players cut by the other 31 teams. &nbsp;Cam Newton might be one of them. &nbsp;Several former Colts were cut yesterday - and a couple of former Hoosiers too!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts made their cuts today, and there was one name not on the cut list I believed would be. &nbsp;And Chris Ballard/Frank Reich has two QBs available for the opener, unless Sam Ehlinger heals very quickly. &nbsp;Should Cam Newton be an option as a backup for the Colts? &nbsp;Colts traded for one of the offensive lineman responsible for Carson Wentz's 50 sacks in 2020!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts will announce their cuts today! &nbsp;After three straight years of picking the 523-man roster precisely, I reveal my 53 keepers regardless of the Reserve/Covid-19 list!
