You are right that I don’t know what Norwell’s motivation was (or Pugh’s), but I think it’s become pretty clear what Ballard’s approach to free agency has been. His words and actions have mostly aligned. So I don’t think it’s at all a stretch to believe the Colts weren’t the highest bidder for either of their services. But regardless the question was primarily directed to those who think I’m crazy for, in the current situation, being willing to over pay the position in free agency but not in draft capital.
