2020:
Castonzo - $13MM
Kelly - $11MM (extension)
Ebron - $10MM
Doyle - $8MM

2021:
Leonard - $20MM (extension)
Nelson - $15MM (extension)

Yes, the goalposts are always moving because the cap is growing and some contracts are coming off the books, but that's over $75MM in possible yearly salaries that Ballard has to budget for over the next few years.

Hate to say it, but I think your numbers might be too low on all of those players except possibly Doyle.

Could be. I think they’re reasonable ballparks for planning, but it could easily be another 10-15MM total.

What did Solder get? Castonzo will get more.

Castonzo will be older at the time of his deal, but I could see him being in a $13-15MM range.

Older, but healthier and with several NFL cap bumps having happened.

If they added nothing else but this years projected rookie class, the Colts would currently have $166 million in cap room entering 2020.
