It looks like Patrick Peterson is no longer alone.
The Cardinals have signed former Indianapolis Colts CB Jerraud Powers to a 3 year, $10.5 million contract. Powers was originally scheduled to meet with the San Diego Chargers after his visit to Arizona, but was convinced enough to cancel his trip to San Diego, and instead sign on with the team in Glendale.

It’s NFL 101, if the old team doesn’t want the player, there’s no need to overpay for that player to get him to come in.
Maybe that was the old regime, honestly Rod Graves did no favors to the Cardinals when it comes to roster or cap management, but maybe it’s because they felt the pressure to continue success, success that they had never had before.
This year the Cardinals...

The Indianapolis Colts have cut ties with cornerback Jerraud Powers, wide receiver Donnie Avery, and offensive tackle Winston Justice.With new guys coming in, it means that some guys have to go.

Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots: Week 11 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (6-3) at New England Patriots (6-3)
The Colts have been underrated all year. From being home dogs against Minnesota and Miami to being just -3 at home for Jacksonville (though they did lose) and -1 at home for Cleveland to being +3.5 against the Jets in New York (another loss) and +3 against the Titans in Tennessee to being -3 in Jacksonville and +7 at home for...

Colts Authority Daily Links 11-12-12
Yes, the news broke earlier today. Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com has a quick write-up on Jerraud Powers' latest season-ending injury.

Colts Injury Report: Powers, Davis Out
It looks like the Colts are playing it cautiously this week, especially given the four day turnaround (good thing the league's trying to cut down on injuries, eh?); according to a colts.com injury update, Jerraud Powers will join Vontae Davis and Coby Fleener on the sidelines this week.
Brown, Justice, Mathis, and Satele are all questionable for the game, and have yet to practice...

Colts turning heads with results; face Jaguars
The resurgent Indianapolis Colts have a quick turnaround for a Thursday night game.
The timing, though, could be just right.
The Colts (5-3) go on the road to face division rival Jacksonville (1-7). The Jaguars are winless at home and are on a five-game skid since beating the Colts 22-17 in Week 3.
Indy is riding yet another emotional win, beating the Miami Dolphins 23-20 on Sunday...

Colts Monday Musings: Handing out Midterm Grades
The Indianapolis Colts closed out the first half of their 2012 season with a 23-20 win over the Miami Dolphins. The win moved their record to a remarkable 5-3 and gave them the inside track for an AFC Wild Card. With half the season in the books it's time for the Colts to receive their midterm report card. I'll be handing out grades for each unit, each individual starter...
Colts Win on the Road in OT, 19-13 Over Titans, and Move to 4-3
He's #Chuckstrong. Are you? (Colts Instagram Account)
4-3, second place in the AFC South. I'll be honest, I wasn't so sure this could happen.
3-3 with a minute left in the half sounds like a defensive struggle with big, game changing plays from both defenses. What actually transpired was two teams moving the ball well through the air, with both quarterbacks averaging...

There were positives - the return of Pat Angerer; the revival of a previously dead running game; Andrew Luck'...
Wells: Jerraud Powers's Play Overlooked
Once in a while, I find an article that I agree entirely with; it seems like Brad Wells's article on Jerraud Powers somehow read my mind. Last week, all I could think was "Wow, Powers is playing like Tim Jennings used to ..." (also "whoever hired these announcers must watch football on mute").
