Clemons is a better run defender than Lewis and also generated a higher pressure rate. Key and Clemons also cost less than Paye combined.
I don't think the Colts have obtained their EDGE2 yet. There are still many options that would be an upgrade over Paye.

Ebukam was coming off a season ending injury last year. His career pressure rate is higher than 9.8.
I’m not sure where you got that Clemons is a better run defender than Lewis.
Clemons and Key are both downgrades from their predecessors or, at best, equal to them.
They’re in no way clearly better.
