You can build your core through the draft and supplement with FA. If you look at the four remaining teams in the playoffs. They all got their passrush through FA. It’s hard to find pass rushers in the draft. No shame in paying for them in FA. But from the moves so far, it looks like we are going to be forced to go LT and passrush with our top two picks. LT I can understand, we need a rookie contract on the line. But depending on a rookie for passrush is not going to improve the teams pass rush in the short term.

Still, we have some more FA to go and moves can still be made. Just will be disappointing if we go into another season and the position is still a weakness.

Agreed. People freak out every year but this has always been Ballards MO.

Theoretically, sitting out free agency to this degree means we get to keep more of our own really good players.

IE, if we sign Thuney this year, we may not be able to afford Smith next year.

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.

Yes, that is how I interpret it. The bonus for being Active in each game is likely to be just shy of $20K. If Tevi is Active in every single possible game, then he could potentially earn up to $510K.

Active Roster Bonus: Expecting a 17 game season $30K per x 17 = $510K
