I don’t think the money matters to Irsay. The guys a billionaire and buys shit for record amounts of money that I can only shake my head at. You give the Union 16 million but keep the same amount around to spend on someone you really value makes sense if you got it. Ballard obviously believes this is the way to build a team. It’s not like he’s putting money in Irsays pockets.He says he wants to build a core from within. He thinks bringing in high priced free agents sends the wrong signal and does not lend itself to building a team with the correct mental makeup. I like the idea of forging a team mentality then bring in players and have them bend to your vision. I also think that it’s a tall order to do It will be interesting to see if he pull it off
