Colts GM Ryan Grigson made it clear the team has little interest in re-signing free agents Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark, Gary Brackett, and Melvin Bullitt.

“At some point, maybe you revisit it,” Grigson said. “We’re confident with the decisions we made at the time. We still are and we’re moving forward.” The four Colts veterans have attracted little interest on the market and will likely have to wait until after the draft to catch on with a team.

The Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt with a “failed physical” designation late last week.

Sirius XM Radio’s Adam Caplan suggests Bullitt may not be recovered yet from the shoulder injury that cost him all but two games in 2011 and four games in 2010. Bullitt was once one of the most productive safeties in the league. Now at age 27, he may have to settle for a minimum deal to stay in the NFL.

Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt.

Bullitt, 27, was due a $2.4 million salary. He missed all but two games due to a right shoulder injury last season, and all but four games in 2010 due to another shoulder problem. The Colts have Joe Lefeged, Antoine Bethea, David Caldwell, and three more no-name safeties at the position. Look for Bullitt’s market value to be pretty minimal as an unrestricted free agent.

Free agent SS Melvin Bullitt says he’s received feelers from the Chiefs and Vikings.

Although Bullitt is at Broadcast Boot Camp this week, he expects to continue his playing career. Teams may be skeptical that Bullitt’s shoulder is healthy after he was released with a failed physical designation in March. The Chiefs can probably be ruled out after signing Abram Elam earlier this month.

Colts placed SS Melvin Bullitt on injured reserve with a right shoulder injury, ending his season.

The Colts started David Caldwell at strong safety in Week 3, but he rotated with rookie Joe Lefeged. Lefeged played more snaps, and both players finished with two tackles. Bullitt, 26, signed a new three-year contract just before training camp, but has performed poorly on the field and this right shoulder injury is recurring. The team may have to consider cutting ties next year.

The Colts signed S Stevie Brown this week because SS Melvin Bullitt is dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Bullitt was also terrible in last week’s loss to the Browns, getting burnt in coverage and missing tackles all over the field. “Melvin has a bit of an issue that he’s dealing with that we’re just not quite certain where he is at this point,” coach Jim Caldwell said. “That’s the reason Steve Brown is here.”

Coach Jim Caldwell said that Bob Sanders (biceps) is on schedule with his rehab.

The oft-injured Sanders appears on track to participate in training camp. He worked out during last week’s OTAs and reportedly looked fine. His return would send supersub Melvin Bullitt back to the bench.

Asked about Bob Sanders’ (knee) status Monday, Colts coach Jim Caldwell would only say that he expects the strong safety back “within five weeks.”

Sanders is doubtful for Indy’s opener, and probably Week 2 as well. Melvin Bullitt will be a solid IDP replacement against the Jaguars and Dolphins.

Melvin Bullitt will be the Colts’ starting strong safety while Bob Sanders (high ankle sprain) is sidelined.

Bullitt made the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M in 2007. He lacks ideal range and figures to be a liability in coverage compared to Sanders, but should be grabbed in IDP leagues. Indy’s front seven is leaky.
