Fletcher was due to make almost £1 million this year. He would have been the backup receiving TE to Dallas Clark. The Colts drafted a rookie receiving TE in Jacob Tamme. They will likely sign him for half the amount Fletcher is making. Fletcher isn't a blocking TE. These roles are likely to be filled by Tom Santi and Gijon Robinson. I am sure they liked Tamme's potential. It is likely they got Tamme in the rookie camp and liked enough of what they saw to make Fletcher expendable. I doubt the Colts want to pay nearly £1 million to a guy that will be a 3rd string TE and who won't see the field much.
I agree with the move if Tamme can deliver the goods. The Colts need to save money. Fletcher was also a free agent after this year and likely wouldn't have been resigned any ways.
