There is a rule in the CBA that states teams must spend at least 89% of the salary cap over a four year period. That current period began in 2017 and is in its final year.

I believe the Colts are under that number by approx. $42,000,000. The 89% is required by the CBA, Ballard may be forced to spend some of Irsays money in free agency, I believe if they don't they are fined and money goes to Colts players salary pool...

Draft picks should eat up a chunk along with what ever Castonzo re-signs for, rest must be through extensions and UFA signings.
