Passer. Check!
Pass Rusher. Check!

Rivers, Bruckner and Castonzo.

From my looking at the cap, it appears we have about $17m to spend on free agents.

Cutting Jacoby Brissett saves another $9m but I guess we are not doing that.
Cutting Brian Hoyer saves another $5m.

Cutting anyone else would shock me as we don't have much dead wood so the Colts probably have $22m more to spend on free agents.

Wish List:

- WR
- NT
- O-Line Depth

Get a couple of those guys in the "value" period of free agency and I think we will roll into the draft in really good shape to pick BPA in all rounds.

Like I said, Ballard is like Polian, but with much bigger balls and an executive strength for finding linebacker talent. Whereas Polian didn’t seem to value that position nearly as much. They’re both masters of the salary cap.
