The Facts:
Stokley, who battled injuries throughout 2006, was expected to have his contract terminated Thursday, according to his agent, making the veteran fan-favorite an unrestricted free agent. "Brandon became a luxury they no longer could afford," said agent Rick Smith.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Stokley's release wasn't a surprise. He was due a $500,000 roster bonus and a 2007 base salary of $2.1 million. Coming off his fourth year with the Colts and eighth in the NFL, Stokley was a key contributor in 2004 (68 catches, 1,077 yards) but saw his playing time dwindle the next year before he was injured. With Stokley often sidelined, the Colts relied more heavily on 2-WR, 2-TE sets.
