Unless he wants to play for about 10 mil its not happening without some more contract re works

The Colts should have no problem at all restructuring deals of players you know you're keeping. Very low risk of dead money.
For example, restructuring Buckner, Leonard, Braden, Kelly gets you back above $40 million in cap room without even adding void years.

This guy is pretty good on cap stuff :cool: So it seems we have some wiggle room if Ballard elects to add some?

Okay, so rework deals. Getting Ryan doesn't matter if they don't have a LT to protect his blindside.

Glad we got Ryan over the injured angry little commercial guy. Really happy with the price tag as well.

Now he has to find a way to get several good pieces added to this squad- LT, WR, S, and TE are critical to taking advantage of this deal he just pulled off.

Lots of talk about needing to re-do deals- then do it, Ryan is absolutely a win this year QB because Tom Brady is 1 in a million- 2023 - 24 is not guaranteed (as we found out with Rivers).

Might be drafting that guy.

This is why I liked Matt Ryan over the other QBs. A faster processsor with plenty of arm left. He will feast against 8-9 man boxes.

Ballard can't just draft a LT and hope he's the solution. Its win now mode.

Draft one and sign one.

IndyNorm 03-21-2022 07:09 PM

Thank god all of that bitching some of us did over the weekend (myself obviously included) made an impact. Now hopefully Ballard saw what we were saying about LT, WR, and CB.

All joking aside, great move by Ballard. Hopefully he can rework some deals as needed and bring in some more help in the key areas.
