Its pagano. Irsay has never been shy about paying players and provides for hiS team, new facilities, etc.

Also being Naptown does not make it as enticing as other destinations

Don't you think it's more likely we just didn't offer as much money as the other teams? Most guys are 100% money during free agency and good for them, but Ballard basically said he wasn't going to play big money FA games. He's doing what he said he would do. I don't think it has anything to do with anything other than our GM not wanting to put us in a hole financially for guys he doesn't know.

That worked pretty well for Bill Polian. It's just going to take some time.

But that's the point I was trying to make. Players follow the money. They don't particularly care who the owner or coach are.

Most of you guys are seriously overreacting about the lack of Colts action on day ONE of free agency. This is the day where silly money is thrown at players.....the best deals long term usually happen over the next few days. Ballard is doing what he said...he is not going to be frittering money away and making poor choices. I like how he is showing restraint, of course at some point he will make some additions, but i like the fact that he appears to be committed to building through the draft.

I'm just here to see if there are any Antonio Morrison/Mingo jokes yet?

Mingo Shepard and Hightower. 3 defensive players with the most recent SB rings would show leadership on the defensive side of the ball.

Thats exactly what the Giants did last year, and it totally turned their defense around! It's not like the Colt's don't have the money, so fuckin spend it, at the very least they could of made the OL the best unit on the team.
