Ballard is shopping at the 99 cent store, while others are at the higher end stores. I understand being frugal to a point, but when you have glaring needs, at least address one or two with proven players, not this kind of fodder.

I don't understand this hoarding the cap money bullshit.

I understand it to a point, I think ballard has taken it a bit far. He built the core in this fashion which he has done a nice job of doing. Trading for and extending bucker was great.

This year I wanted one impact player, some solid vets, and then draft. Given the lower cap that caused teams issues, our cap space, we should have been able to improve the team, even if in the short term. I would be fine and was expecting some 1-2 year contracts.

Impact at DE - lawson or similar. We could have afforded that type of contract.
Vets - villaneuva to compete with drafted LT or be solid backup and teach rookie the ropes. Resign rhodes (done). Wait for Ertz to be released (hopefully still happens). Sign a solid WR.

Draft.

There are at least 3 Colts who will have contracts to deal with on the horizon. Nelson, Leonard, and Smith. And there are several others I’m sure he would like to keep. And from his own words, he wont low ball them or ask for a hometown discount.

He likes to pay HIS guys, not mercenaries who stay for a couple years and then leave. He traded for Bruckner, then paid him for his skills. Bruckner is COMMITTED to this team.

He doesnt hand out big money to strangers. He pays guys who show their worth.

I’d add Hines as a guy we need to try and resign.
