Sorry if it's already been posted, but saw somewhere that Colts signed Sheard, Simon & Mingo for basically $2-3M more than what Packers gave to just Nick Perry.
In a defense that basically just needs bodies at every position -- and specifically, a LB corps that needs entirely remade -- that's really not bad GM'ing.
Also saw cap hits are frontloaded, so presumably if the Colts can/do improve from these guys by 2018 or 2019, it's nothing to cut weight.
(That said, I think Simon has some real potential based on who I listed to/read. And I don't know much about Sheard, but at least you know unlike LBs native to this roster, he has actually been coached.)
