Assuming you're replying to me. Here's some some deals I would have liked the Colts to have made:
Mitch Trubisky - 2 yrs/$14M (possible $27M w/ incentives), $5M guaranteed
Allen Robinson - 3 yr/$45M, $30M guaranteed
Haason Reddick - 3 yr/$45M, $30M guaranteed
Emmanuel Ogbah - 4 yr/$65M, $32M guaranteed (although he re-signed with the Dolphins, so might not have been possible)
OJ Howard - 1 yr/$3.5M, $3.1M guaranteed (very Ballardesque signing)
We could have signed Trubisky, Robinson, Reddick, and Howard and still had plenty of cap space remaining even if we had to outbid for Robinson and Reddick. Reddick would have also allowed to us to hang onto Rock.
FAs available I'd like us to take a run at:
Terron Armstead - He'll be expensive, but we'd have the best OL in the league by far.
Duane Brown - Less expensive than Armstead, and should get us through a couple of years while a draft pick develops.
Fletcher Cox (depending on the price tag).
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Lorenzo Carter (should be cheap)
Joe Haden (since we need CB now)
Obviously we can't sign all of the above, but I'd like to see a couple of the above end up with the Colts.
