INDIANAPOLIS – Matt Overton’s had harder days than Monday, when the Indianapolis Colts handed him a pink slip after five seasons. He’s been cut plenty times before.

That’s Overton. His memorable five-season run with the Colts, where he made a Pro Bowl and paired with popular punter Pat McAfee and iconic kicker Adam Vinatieri to form one of the top units in football, came to a close Monday, when the Colts released him, along with nine other players, in a post-draft purge.
