Even where Colts pay these guys tons of money, they usually have an out after a couple years in the event things don't work out.

Managing the cap for future years has been, and will continue to be, the primary success of the Ballard era. It will not result in anything meaningful though. Ballard apologists will point to the salary cap as the barrier to effectively fill holes on the roster, while praising Ballard for his super conservative cap use. Teams don’t consistently win today while only planning for tomorrow. The single biggest issue with the team.
