INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have released linebacker Jonathan Newsome following his arrest for possession of marijuana less than a week ago. Newsome went to Twitter to thank the Colts organization following his release.

I would like to thank Coach Pagano, Ryan Grigson, Jim Irsay and the entire Colts organization for the opportunity of a life time.

I learned alot during my time here in Indianapolis, becoming a better football player and person. I have made mistakes, but ive grown.
