The Indianapolis Colts announced this evening that the team has waived kicker Taylor Pontius. Via the team’s official press release:
“The Indianapolis Colts today waived kicker Taylor Pontius.
Pontius, 5-11, 180 pounds, originally signed with the Colts on May 20, 2015 as an undrafted free agent out of North Alabama. In 2014, he led the Lions with 79 points after converting 11-of-14 field goal attempts and 46-of-48 extra-point attempts.”
With Adam Vinatieri in the fold, Pontius was a serious longshot to make the Colts 53-man roster regardless.
