One of the Colts' most effective defensive linemen was discharged, although it's unknown why at this time.

Some spectators and experts believe that Odenigbo may have desired to leave the faltering Colts organization.

Whatever the cause for Odenigbo's discharge, he will now become a waiver claimant.
