Do you think that Ballard isn't giving a fair offer, or do you think that he should overpay no matter what the price in order to keep him?

It is likely that Doyle's agent told him to turn down the Colts offer unless they were overpaying to see what he can get on the free agent market, and he may be right. They may find a team or two that will be willing to overpay. That isn't Ballard's fault. Doyle is a solid player, but not someone to pay crazy money to.
