Ted Marchibroda, who took the Indianapolis Colts within one play of the Super Bowl, said Friday he will not return next season.

The pair met briefly Friday, and Marchibroda, who sought a two-year deal, said he was told “they were going to go in a different direction.”

The Dallas Cowboys released cornerback Clayton Holmes and center Derek Kennard. . . . The Minnesota Vikings released guard Chris Hinton, linebacker Broderick Thomas and safety Charles Mincy. . . .
