Exactly which category Indianapolis Colts running back Donald Brown fits in to is not quite clear, but it looks like the former first round does not believe he'll be a Colt next season.

Was an honor and privilege to play for the Colts. An organization made up of phenomenal people. Will always be indebted to the horseshoe.

Now this could mean absolutely nothing, but since he is talking in the past tense it definitely sounds like he's on the way out. Rumor has it that the team planned on making him what was called a 'reasonable' offer. If that is the case it sounds like it wasn't reasonable enough for him.
It is kind of tough to put a real valley on Brown. As a first round pick their were big expectations, but he hasn't lived up to them. He has never been able to lay claim to the starter's job and only has two 100+ yard games in his five seasons with the Colts.
One could blame that on a lack of carries, but since he has averaged less than four yards a carry in three of five seasons he hasn't exactly earned them. It wasn't till the tail end of this season that he really started to show some promise.
His lack of production is entirely why they team traded for Trent Richardson--who has also under-performed, but the team feel that he'll be fine after a full off-season and training camp. However, if they don't keep Brown they are going to have to draft someone in the middle rounds.
