I wasnt specifically referring to pass rush, but was talking about any free agents.

Neither was I, although I see it looks confusing. Here is what I meant to say: If Paye and Dayo fix the pass rush then I don’t think the Colts need difference makers as free agents. The top end talent on the team will be good enough to be true contenders - as long as you don’t have major, easily exploitable holes in other areas. Mainly CB and WR. That is where Ballard could and should effectively use free agency. Bringing glaring weaknesses up to at least league average. That costs but it wouldn’t break the bank.

If Paye and Dayo don’t fix the pass rush then I doubt free agency really matters. The Colts will continue the perpetual rebuild. Ballard won’t spend the money to get a difference maker in free agency and you aren’t going to be a contender without a pass rush.
