Insider: Colts' massive roster turnover continues

The rookie free agents are “real important,” Ballard said. “I’ve had it both ways where we’ve had guys make it and some years we don’t. But it’s very important. The undrafted guys are, in my mind, no different than a draft pick. They’re going to get the same opportunity, and if they win the job, then we’ll move on from the other guy. But you can’t preach competition and not live it. Last year in Kansas City, if you’ve done your research, we cut our third-round pick (Kei’Varae Russell) for a sixth-round corner that we drafted. You can’t preach competition and not live it because, I promise you, the locker room knows. They know who deserves to make it and who doesn’t deserve to make it.”

Really think this was a Grigano failure: preaching competition but not really living it. TR and Landry are case in points that first come to mind.
I enjoy having a GM I respect again.
