First, it's not even day one of free agency. These reported deals are just rumors right now. As we all (thankfully) learned, headlines mean nothing until they sign the contract. Second, Andrew Norwell was the best but not the only option out there. There are still starting caliber OL out there and the Colts could spread the money they would've spent on Norwell out to two or three guys who might solidify the line better than one big contract. For example, Justin Pugh and Ryan Jensen could probably be signed for a similar amount of money. Third, if the Colts have a large amount to roll over, it might not be a bad idea to keep rolling it over until such time as they have their own guys worthy of retaining. That was a big struggle for the 00s Colts, and it could be lessened by rollover cap space when the time comes.
