The Indianapolis Star reported this morning that the Colts had cut Ryan Lilja.

'The offseason overhaul of the Indianapolis Colts offensive line continued Monday with the release of starting guard Ryan Lilja.

"They let him go," said Craig Domann, Lilja's agent.

"They said they want to go bigger and apparently are going to get people who fit that philosophy."

Lilja, 28, a 6-2, 290-pounder, started all 19 games last season after missing the 2008 season with knee issues. He had been a fixture on the offensive line since being claimed off waivers in '04, starting 67 games, including the playoffs.

The move apparently wasn't financially driven. The team paid Lilja the $1.7 million roster bonus he was due before terminating his contract. He would have earned a base salary of $3.055 million in 2010.

Lilja's release is the latest tremor to hit the offensive line since the Colts' Feb. 7 loss to New Orleans in Super Bowl XLIV.

Initially, longtime position coach Howard Mudd retired after the loss to the Saints. Then, team president Bill Polian criticized the Super Bowl performance of the offensive line even though it allowed zero sacks of quarterback Peyton Manning and contributed to the running game that averaged 5.2 yards per attempt.

Domann anticipates Lilja "landing on his feet."

"He's tough, smart and versatile," Domann said. "He's just the type of guy a lot of teams are looking for."'

Ryan was a regular customer and he will be missed. He treated me just like any other person and it was a pleasure taking care of his family and friends when they where in town.
