I have wanted to spend shit tons of money on things and then run it by Smitty and he says NO

I am not a finance guy. I want what I want. But there is a line you cannot cross. That's why you have those guys.

Those guys are not fun to talk to about spending, but mostly they are right.


It's like a diet. Don't eat more than you can burn

Ballard is not cheap. He has a Smitty

No one is saying they want Ballard to go on some crazy spending spree that puts the Colts into salary cap hell going fwd. What we're saying is that Ballard needs to step out of his comfort zone and put some of this ridiculous amount of cap space to good use by filling some of the gaping holes this team has (which is his fault BTW).

Despite having the most cap space in the league going into to FA we're no better off than when it started:

At the start of FA we had the following needs: QB, LT, DE, WR2, WR3, CB2, TE2, DL depth, CB depth, S depth.

Now a week into it we have the following needs: QB, LT, WR2, WR3, CB1, CB2, TE2, DL depth, S depth, CB depth.

Hopefully now that Watson has decided where he's going things will start moving for us, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
