I wouldn't worry too much about this point.
I think Ballard has a fairly good reputation about paying Colts players (even a few times when he didn't have to extend / restructure at the time).
And the precedent has already been set - it would be a similar situation to the trade for Buckner and immediately paying him a new big contract.
