Colts release RB Dorsey

Tailback DeDe Dorsey, who spent training camp with the Bengals in 2006, was one of 22 players released Saturday by the Indianapolis Colts.

He was expected to be Joseph Addai's top backup running back, according to The Indianapolis Star.

In other moves around the NFL, the Saints waived rookie running back Antonio Pittman of Ohio State. Pittman was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round and led the Saints in preseason carries, rushing 55 times for 173 yards and one touchdown. He also caught six passes for 35 yards in five games.

The Bengals might be combing the waiver wire for outside speed in the run game after losing second-round rookie tailback Kenny Irons in the first preseason game with an ACL tear. The Bengals kept three tailbacks on their 53-man roster Saturday: Rudi Johnson, Kenny Watson and Quincy Wilson.

Do you think the Bengals would try to sign Pittman? I'd love to see him in the stripes.

Either Pittman or Dorsey would be a nice upgrade to the RB position, IMO. I think Dorsey has more speed. Will either of these two guys be signed? Or possibly some other players? What are you hearing?

Lets see go with the guy drafted in Round 4 and got cut or the guy who went undrafted and was a part of a Super Bowl championship team? I would have to swing to the other side and go with Dede ...
