Do you really think that Ballard would risk his job because he has frugal philosophy? I wouldn't.

Hell, in my job, I want the latest greatest, best of everything. But ownership isn't willing to spend.

Eh, I don't think Irsay has a problem spending. Ballard just isn't big on FA. Of course, he's also not the money-under-the-mattress meme that everyone runs with.

He spent $200m on FA last off-season after he offered Danielle Hunter more money than the Texans (just wasn't enough to offset the fact that he has family and we have no income tax here).

Plus he signed all of those checks for Grigson, who was the polar opposite.
