Glenn

Sharpe

Sharpe, 28, was arrested by DeKalb County Police for the February 2 murder of Christopher Galloway. He is accused of shooting Galloway three times at his Lawrenceville home. Sharpe received a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Saints’ practice squad in 2009. The former Miami Hurricane was arrested for drug possession in August of 2010, and waived 18 days later by the Colts.

He’s a practice squad player. The Falcons also released cornerback Glenn Sharpe, offensive tackle Adam Speer, offensive guard Ryan Stanchek, cornerback Tony Tiller, center Ben Wilkerson, and wide receiver Chandler Williams.

Heyman spent 2009 on the practice squad while Goddard and Sharpe were added in January. All three are longshots to make the final roster in 2010.

Sharpe takes the roster spot of Antoine Harris and is ticketed for special teams duty.

Sharpe has bounced around practice squads since going undrafted out of Miami (FL) a few years ago. The Saints have the deepest corner depth chart in the league, so he’s better off not on the roster heading to training camp.

Sharpe was stopped for speeding and police say they discovered Metronidazole, antibiotic inside a prescription bottle and several Vicodin pills. A .9mm pistol was also found. Sharpe was on the Saints practice squad last year, but has been out of football since then.

It’s odd timing for the character conscious Colts, as Sharpe was arrested for drug possession earlier in the month. He’s seen time on the practice squads of the Saints and Falcons the past two seasons.

James’ lone claim to fame is being Edge’s little brother. He never improved after his freshman season at Miami (FL), and isn’t talented enough for the pros. Skinner, an in-the-box safety, could be headed for the practice squad.
