Doss will try out free-agent market
Thursday, February 8, 2007
By Todd Porter REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER

Mike Doss has enjoyed his four-year career in Indianapolis. Now, the former McKinley High School and Ohio State All-American is ready to taste a different part of the league. Doss and his agent, Tom Condon, informed the Super Bowl champion Colts that Doss would void the fifth year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. Indianapolis signed the second-round pick to a four-year contract with a fifth year that was voidable if Doss met certain incentives.
"I'm looking forward to this process," Doss said of becoming a free agent. "There's still a month left until things start to happen. It's kind of mixed emotions. The Colts gave me my first opportunity in the league, and I'll always be grateful for that. It was an opportunity to play with those guys and build relationships over the years."

Dungy says Colts want Doss back
Monday, February 26, 2007
By STEVE DOERSCHUK

INDIANAPOLIS As a winter storm blew through and snowflakes the size of Alan Branch's head fell, the stopwatches and stethoscopes got packed. The NFL Combine skated.

Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy hopes safety Mike Doss stays.

It's easy to assume Doss, an unrestricted free agent, will leave in free agency after the market opens Friday.

While the 2003 second-round pick out of McKinley and Ohio State was recovering from knee surgery in 2006, sixth-round pick Antoine Bethea was emerging as a find at safety.

Yet, just because the Colts won a Super Bowl without Doss doesn't mean they think they're fine without him.

NFL: Doss to visit Tampa Bay
Thursday, March 8, 2007


McKinley High School graduate and former Ohio State All-American Mike Doss will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today. Doss, a four-year NFL veteran, is an unrestricted free agent. Tampa Bay is in need of a strong safety to play a similar Cover 2 defense that Indianapolis utilized with Doss as a starter. Doss is coming off season-ending knee surgery in October. He is scheduled to take a physical today. The Buccaneers are one of the NFL?s bigger players during free agency with a reported $24 million in salary cap space.

DOSS' GOOD NEWS

So the cell phone rings in the middle of the day Friday and the caller ID indicates Mike Doss is phoning.

"Hey, I've got some good news," the three-time All American from Ohio State and McKinley High School said.

"Who'd you sign with?"

"I didn't sign with anybody. ... I passed all my classes," Doss said.

It wasn't a joke.

Doss was genuinely happy about passing three upper-level communication classes at Ohio State this winter. Doss took Advertising in Society, Strategic Marketing and Interpersonal Communication and nailed 15 credit hours. That leaves him just eight credits shy of his bachelor's degree, which he plans to complete with a science class and sociology class in the spring quarter.

Doss is an unrestricted free agent and has received interest from Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. He didn't sign with either, though. He isn't stressed about the free agency process.

"I'm going to have a job," Doss said. "You don't start for four years in the NFL and not have a job. I was stressed about these classes ... I was worried about this degree. I want a degree."

Doss didn't miss any classes, except during Super Bowl week when he was in Miami with his Colts teammates.
