His $6m cap hit for 2019 would currently be tied with Zack Martin (DAL) and Joe Bitonio (CLE) for 16th / 17th / 18th highest in the league.
I think he is getting paid pretty well for a starting OG with one year of quality service under his belt. I think this is both a fair price and a great move by Ballard.
Not to toon my own horn (which I am totally doing), from the "Colts Own Free Agents" thread:
Ballard, give me a job!

Well done Sherck - you nailed it!
As with all NFL contracts, the details will tell us more about how the Colts see Glowinski - the guarantees, cap hits, roster bonuses, etc. Looks like Glowinski got a $4.2 million signing bonus.
With many of the other Colts signings, little was guaranteed after the first year and the Colts could move on after a year without consequence if the player didn't play up to expectations. Not sure Ballard will be able to convince some of the in house free agents to accept such deals, or any big name free agents.
