Exactly. Don't nickel and dime the guy and then spend the bext 3 years trying to find his replacement.

I'm fine with that, as long as it's structured in a way that the Colts can get out of it after 1-2 years with limited cap hit. 2019 and 2020 cap space is not an issue whatsoever.

That is the way Ballard appears to be structuring contracts; only okay sized signing bonuses but guaranteed 1st year salaries.

By year 2, most of his deals (not counting high round rookie contracts) can be walked away from with zero negative cap ramifications.

The only good thing carried over from the Grigson years. The only thing....

Walk Worthy,

I'm not saying he'll be paid like a top 5 guard, but it'll be closer to $7-8M/year, no chance for $3M.

I think the guy will be resigned if he keeps playing well, no doubt. The question is how much he will be paid. He was cut by Seattle prior to the season after three lackluster years, and so far he’s started all of 5 games for us - it will be a maximum total of 11 (plus any playoffs) by the end of the season. I just don’t see that teams will pay the kind of money you’re talking about ($7-8M) for someone with his resume. That’s why my best guess is a shorter term contract at a lower salary. If he builds a better resume then he gets paid. If the Colts are really enthralled, then maybe he gets paid well on a very short term contract.

I'm not saying Glowinski is doing that, but even if he is, I would be very surprised if he made less than $5M/year on his next contract.
