However, both CLE and SF have $30m more than us because, well, they stink.

Luckily, both of them will be going for "high" profile Free Agents that have name appeals sizzle (QB, WR, RB) to eat their cap space which will not be competition for "dull" offensive and defensive front guys.

The one thing Grigson did was leave the Colts in great cap shape.

2018 = We only have $96m obligated against a projected cap of $172m.
....(use all $40m this year and we still have $30m of "new" space to spend)

2019 = We only have $70m obligated against a projected cap near $180m.
....(spend all $40m in 2017 and $30m in 2018 and we still have $40m of "new" space to spend)

Sign them all, Ballard. We have the cap space.

Cheers,
