If Peyton does come on board at some point, why would he be the one picking the coach? It's usually the GM who does that isn't it? That would be awkward to undercut a newly hired GM's authority.

Again, I have not said that Ballard is signing "nobodies" or bums or however you want to say it.
What I have said is that he has seemingly gone out of his way to not put any more guaranteed money on the books past 2017. Yes, that fits with his stated strategy of prioritizing the draft, but I believe it's also indicative of a low risk approach to UFA specifically for this season.
There are some important reasons why Ballard may be taking that approach, which I have outlined previously.
