Royal had 140 career tackles, 6 solo sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 2 Fumble Recoveries. Royal was traded to the Indianapolis Colts following several off-the-field incidents prior to the start of the season with The New Orleans Saints.Royal, signed a guaranteed $4.085 million contract with the Saints as a free agent after previously attaining All-Pro status with the Carolina Panthers, and was expected to start at strong-side linebacker. He was replaced in the Saints' final exhibition game by backup Keith Mitchell.After reporting to Saints training camp 20 or 30 players including Royal, were involved in a team publicized hazing event in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Several rookies, including Cam Cleeland, were hit with a pillowcase filled with coins as they had to walk through 20 to 30 players lined up on each side of a dormitory hallway.Six players were singled out and named in a lawsuit including: Royal, Brady Smith, Brian Jones, Isaac Davis, Troy Davis, and Keith Mitchell. Defensive line coach, Walt Corey was also named as a defendant. Royal admitted to participating in the incident but said he did not hit the rookies with any objects as the defendants were accused of doing.The Saints' settled with the injured player. The settlement covered all the players except Royal whose suit was dismissed.After being accused of faking a head injury by Coach Mike Dikta in a team meeting; Dikta and Royal engaged in a highly publicized and televised shouting match. Dikta fined Royal $50,000 which Royal appealed to the NFL. Dikta was found to have been \"baiting a player\" and was fined $50,000.00 instead.In the trade with the Colts, the Saints acquired tight end Scott Slutzker from the Colts for Royal, having been short-handed at that position because of injuries, including that of No. 2 draft pick Cam Cleeland.Royal went on to star on the field for the Indianapolis Colts leading the Defense across from Offensive All-Pro, Peyton Manning. However after playing two seasons with the Colts, Royal's NFL Career came to an end from the effects of several head injuries.Royal had offered to voluntarily give up the last 2 years salary on his 4 year contract with the Colts in exchange for being allowed to retire at the end of the first season with the Colts.Despite Royal's official retirement from the NFL in 2001, several teams approached him about returning to the NFL including the Dallas Cowboys, who offered Royal a 2-year deal following his retirement.Although Andre Royal never played football before moving to Northport, AL his 8th grade year in Jr. High School, he went on to earn a 4 year college scholarship to The University of Alabama where he studied Criminal Justice and play on the 1992 NCAA Division I National Football Championship Team.
