Isn't part of the point of building a locker room/culture/whatever you want to call it being able to take on a talented player that other teams can't handle and get good production out of them? His history isn't great, but that likely means you can get him at a discount and put him on a short leash.

Do same with Kareem Hunt ? :cool: I don't think Ballard will go for either.

Given the points you mentioned, I don't think he's a good human being, but as a football player, I'd rather his talents be helping the Colts than, say, the Cheaters. I'd also rather win championships than have the highest character locker room, and Clark (as well as Ford) brings something the Colts sorely lacked in 2018, effectiveness as a pass rusher. Signing both of those players would allow Ballard to purely focus on BPA in the draft and otherwise try to find value in free agency.
