We have around 12 mil to deal with. I think he will break it up three times however it breaks best.

However, putting 12 on Brown would be amazing.

I still remember that God awful super bowl loss. Now let's move on and fill some holes and get him some weapons. WRs and a TE and a LT. Should be an interesting season.

Crow is gross by the way...

Me too Bry, Crow tastes best with some Humble Pie, I know !

Easily Ballards best off season. The moves he has been able to pull off are quite remarkable.

I am glad he has more patience that most Colt's fans who overreact way way way too early.

Now if he nails this draft. GM of the yr trophy should follow.

Yea he's that good

I found it interesting that Ryan has been sacked more than 40 times each of the last 4 seasons yet has not gotten hurt. Makes me wonder that while we all blame Grigson for shortening Lucks career by not giving him a decent line maybe a whole lot of the blame lies on how Luck played-stupid in my opinion, not sliding and thinking he was superman. He obviously wasn't and it has been a nightmare for us. I apologize for bringing Luck into this, I am just impressed that a QB can be play behind a line like this and not get injured.

Ryan was criticized for too many check downs. Problem was that was the best the offense could do. No line, no wideouts, it was a mess

I am really looking forward to having a QB that is accurate. Getting the ball into the hands of Hines, Taylor or Pittman with a head full of steam, not having to wait for the ball, is going to be a nightmare for opposing defenses. YAC should go way up compared to Wentz. As for people who think we can't go far into the playoffs with Ryan, fuck that shit. If the defense can play up to it's potential, we will be a force.

Some reports the Colts are restructuring some of Ryan’s contract to free up additional cap space. If that’s true and they use it to add additional free agents THEN I’d say it’s been a great off season.

I don’t question Ballard’s ability to draft or his ability to “win” transactions. I question his ability / desire to assemble a roster to compete NOW. Irsay’s anger may have given Ballard the push he needed. We’ll see.

I posted this in another thread, but Ryan's healthy life style is legendary. Truly treats his body as a temple. He is in better shape than most of the 30 year old QB's out there. He could easily play five more season should he choose to do so.

For what it's worth... he's only a year or so older than Stafford. Stafford just had a great season and signed a 6-yr deal.
