On Tuesday, the team announced it had released the veteran cornerback. Cromartie signed with the Colts this summer, and started each of the team's four games before his release.
In those games, Cromartie did not have a registered pass defense or interception, and struggled mightily in the Colts' loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
The Colts did not announce any corresponding moves.
Cromartie, who turned 32 in April, has been one of the NFL's better cornerbacks since being selected by the Chargers in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He has been voted to the Pro Bowl four times (2007, 2012-2014), and was a first-team, all-pro in 2007.
While San Diego drafted Cromartie, he's most known for his first of two stints spent with the Jets from 2010 through 2013. During that time, he intercepted 13 passes and scored one defensive touchdown.
In total, Cromartie played four years with the Chargers (2006-2009), then that stint with the Jets, a year with the Cardinals (2014), and one more year with the Jets (2015), before signing with the Colts.
Cromartie's play has taken a steep decline ever since he left Arizona. In 2015, he failed to record an interception for the first time since his rookie year.
In his career, Cromartie has 116 passes defensed, 31 interceptions and five defensive touchdowns. He hasn't picked off a pass since Jan. 3 — a Cardinals playoff game against the Panthers.
