Any financial commitment would have to acknowledge that.
I think underrated or underdeveloped players will continue to be Ballard's forte.
In the underrated department, Golden Tate intrigues the hell out of me....but he's more of a slot than a boundary WR. Colts could still use that skillset.
I think a name to watch out for is Tyrell Williams. Chargers are gonna have roughly $27M in cap space and need to pay Verrett and Perryman at the very least. Not sure how much Williams will command as he didn't put up monster numbers by any stretch, but he's 26, 6-4 and kinda has the career look of a Reggie Wayne type on the verge of breaking out.

If you're concerned about decline, Tate will be 31 next year. Williams will be 27 and has had a 1,000 yard season, he might be worth a low end starter's contract.
