Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Indianapolis Colts released 22 players including veteran tackle Adam Terry on Saturday, also acquiring cornerback Justin Tryon via a trade with the Washington Redskins amid their "cut-down-day" transactions.
Terry, who was looking to crack the rotation along the offensive line, was one of the few veteran players released by Indianapolis on Saturday. The 2005 second-round pick out of Syracuse appeared in 46 games (18 starts) as a member of the Baltimore Ravens from 2005 to 2008, but missed all of 2009 with a knee injury.
Tryon, who was obtained from the Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed future draft choice, will offer some depth at cornerback for Indianapolis. A 2008 fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, Tryon appeared in 29 games for Washington over the past two seasons, with a pair of starts.
Released along with Terry on Saturday were defensive end Ervin Baldwin, quarterback Tom Brandstater, defensive end John Chick, tight end Colin Cloherty, defensive tackle Marlon Favorite, defensive back Ray Fisher, wide receiver Sam Giguere, defensive backs Danny Gorrer and Ashton Hall, wide receiver Brandon James, running back Javarris James, defensive back Terrail Lambert, tackle Chris Marinelli. center Adrian Martinez, defensive back Mike Newton, running back Allen Patrick, defensive back Glenn Sharpe, defensive back Terrell Skinner, wide receiver Taj Smith, linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka, wide receiver Blair White and tackle James Williams.
Indianapolis begins the 2010 regular season next Sunday, when it travels to meet the AFC South rival Houston Texans.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
