Money ain't an issue. At all. Short or long term. They could structure that deal in a million ways.
The issue is simply culture fit and positional emphasis. Nothing about Ballard suggests the Colts would invest in Bell from those aspects. BUT Ballard has also shown that he'll take a winning player against the risk factor, so we really don't know.
Personally, if I'm going to take a $30M cap hit for 2-3 OK players or 1 playmaker, I'll take the playmaker. Especially at this point in Colts' evolution where they don't need as many bodies as years past.

All well and good. I don't care if it's 30 million or 100 million to retain Bell's services. He is not going to improve this team enough to contend for a SB.
