It's time to break up the band. I actually like what the Colts are doing. Gives them a chance to put together a group that can come up together. IMHO this is a good move on their part.

to me, none of these players work in a system minus Peyton Manning. They were horrible last season, now with Manning they were Pro- Bowl caliber just shows how much Peyton was worth to this team the last 14 years. I am not a Colts fan, but is has to be a sad day to be a Indy fan.

21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.

To answer the OP...yes....other teams have had "fire sales" such as this before.  As a matter of fact my Cleveland Browns hold an annual "fire sale" to rid themselves of those pesky high draft picks so they can stock up on those oh so valuable 5th and 6th rounders.
