I'm saying that the Colts aren't a top destination for free agents so an additional million dollars isn't typically going to be enough to get someone to change where they ended up going in free agency. The Colts would have to offer more than just the offer the guy signed, plus a dollar. Their offer would have to be considerably more.
Any marquee free agent could choose from a dozen other teams who have as good as, or better, of a situation than the Colts, especially when talking about the defensive side of the ball. Situation meaning everything from coaching structure, philosophy, teammates who will pull their weight to help the marquee player keep his numbers up (so he's not always covering for some JAG next to him who isn't getting it done).
