The Indianapolis Colts announced the signing of free agent center A.Q. Shipley to a "Reserve/Futures' contract.
A seventh-round pick out of Penn State by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009, Shipley spent his rookie season on the Steelers practice squad and was with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad in 2010. Released by the Eagles in September, Shipley spent 2011 as a street free agent, working out for the Buffalo Bills on December 27.
Prior to being named the Colts general manager, Ryan Grigson spent nine seasons with the Eagles, including the last two as the team's Director of Player Personnel.
Colts center Jeff Saturday is an unrestricted free agent and is contemplating retirement. The Colts used a pair of 2008 draft picks on centers Mike Pollak (second round) and Jamey Richard (seventh round), both of whom will be unrestricted free agents this offseason.

If the Colts allow AQ Shipley to play they won't be sorry!
A.Q. gained too much weight trying to be a pro. He should lose 15 pounds and just be himself.
He was as decorated as a center can be coming out of Penn State.
He should be in the NFL. The Colts with Jeff Saturday thinking about calling it quits is a fit for this very dedicated player.
