The Colts reportedly made Autry an offer that was similar in overall money to his contract with Tennessee. The main difference between the offers was that Tennessee was willing to guarantee a portion (~$2M) of Autry's salary during the 2022 season (he will be 32 next year). In the grand scheme of things, that is only about 1% of next year's cap.
I don't think Autry was willing to grant the Colts any favors either - I think he felt a bit disrespected that Ballard didn't want to extend him during the season like Grover Stewart and Ballard was willing to wait until the off season for the negotiations.
