Free agent SS Melvin Bullitt says he's received feelers from the Chiefs and Vikings. Although Bullitt is at Broadcast Boot Camp this week, he expects to continue his playing career. Teams may be skeptical that Bullitt's shoulder is healthy after he was released with a failed physical designation in March. The Chiefs can probably be ruled out after signing Abram Elam earlier this month.

The Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt with a "failed physical" designation late last week. Sirius XM Radio's Adam Caplan suggests Bullitt may not be recovered yet from the shoulder injury that cost him all but two games in 2011 and four games in 2010. Bullitt was once one of the most productive safeties in the league. Now at age 27, he may have to settle for a minimum deal to stay in the NFL.

Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt. Bullitt, 27, was due a $2.4 million salary. He missed all but two games due to a right shoulder injury last season, and all but four games in 2010 due to another shoulder problem. The Colts have Joe Lefeged, Antoine Bethea, David Caldwell, and three more no-name safeties at the position. Look for Bullitt's market value to be pretty minimal as an unrestricted free agent.

Colts placed SS Melvin Bullitt on injured reserve with a right shoulder injury, ending his season. The Colts started David Caldwell at strong safety in Week 3, but he rotated with rookie Joe Lefeged. Lefeged played more snaps, and both players finished with two tackles. Bullitt, 26, signed a new three-year contract just before training camp, but has performed poorly on the field and this right shoulder injury is recurring. The team may have to consider cutting ties next year.

The Colts signed S Stevie Brown this week because SS Melvin Bullitt is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Bullitt was also terrible in last week's loss to the Browns, getting burnt in coverage and missing tackles all over the field. "Melvin has a bit of an issue that he's dealing with that we're just not quite certain where he is at this point," coach Jim Caldwell said. "That's the reason Steve Brown is here."

Colts agreed to terms with SS Melvin Bullitt on a multi-year contract. Bullitt has put up some big numbers in the past, but he's a replacement-level safety who missed all but four games last season with a serious shoulder injury. The Colts will probably pencil Bullitt in as the heir apparent to Bob Sanders, who signed with San Diego before the lockout. Target Bullitt in IDP leagues, but he won't be an impact player in Indianapolis.

Free agent SS Melvin Bullitt estimated to an Indianapolis radio station that his chances of re-signing with the Colts are "50-50." Recent comments from Bullitt suggested he was willing to back off his insistence of a long-term deal. "I never changed my stance on it," said Bullitt. "I want to be in Indianapolis, but it's going to be unrealistic for me to come back unless I have a long-term deal." Bullitt is skeptical that the Colts will commit to him in free agency.

After saying earlier this offseason he couldn't see himself being back in Indianapolis without a long-term deal, free agent SS Melvin Bullitt has softened his stance. "I want to play in Indy again," Bullitt said. "That's what I'm planning on. But the reality is I'm not signed with anyone." Bullitt also emphasized his surgically repaired shoulder is 100 percent. "I'm probably the strongest I've been in two years."
