That really feels like Ballard trying to hit the rolling average. Does this mean they're out on Tyrell Williams?

Good move, in my opinion. I mentioned him as someone I wanted the Colts to go after months ago.

Heck of a RZ target who is coming off a pretty average year, but look no further than Cam stinking it up.

$13M is the maximum value (with incentives). Base value unknown per Pro Football Talk:

I was thinking 13 million is a lot for Funchess but if there are a lot of performance incentives, he might be worth it.

The more I looked at Williams, the less of a fit he seemed to be at the price it would take. The Colts need a physical short to medium range receiver. Williams is big, but he’s a deep threat and not consistent at beating the jam and making the short contested grab.

Funchess is limited but he fills a need. We should trust Reich to use him well in specific situations like he did with Ebron last year.
