I have wanted to spend shit tons of money on things and then run it by Smitty and he says NO

I am not a finance guy. I want what I want. But there is a line you cannot cross. That's why you have those guys.

Those guys are not fun to talk to about spending, but mostly they are right.

Ballard is not cheap. He has a Smitty

I’m sorry - I don’t buy it. Cheap may be the wrong word though. Every decision he makes maintains long term flexibility. He never makes a decision for now. The Colts can sign whoever the hell they want money wise, it just has an affect later that he’s not willing to pay. You can think that is smart, but I think it’s a mistake and limiting. The “Not For Long” league is about 2 year windows, not 4-5 year ones. Chaka and I argued about this in previous years. He said he’s working on building a dynasty. 5 years in and I’m confident in my conclusion he’s only building mediocrity. He’s going to waste the good shit he has done planning for 4 years down the road.

Just checking to make sure we didn't sign anybody. And, we haven't. Have a good weekend y'all!

The Bears signed him to a two year, $10MM contract per Schefter.

Former Colts’ DE Al-Quadin Muhammad reached agreement on a two-year, $10 million deal, per source. Muhammad will reunite in Chicago with Bears’ HC Matt Eberflus.

No one is saying they want Ballard to go on some crazy spending spree that puts the Colts into salary cap hell going fwd. What we're saying is that Ballard needs to step out of his comfort zone and put some of this ridiculous amount of cap space to good use by filling some of the gaping holes this team has (which is his fault BTW).

Despite having the most cap space in the league going into to FA we're no better off than when it started:

At the start of FA we had the following needs: QB, LT, DE, WR2, WR3, CB2, TE2, DL depth, CB depth, S depth.

Now a week into it we have the following needs: QB, LT, WR2, WR3, CB1, CB2, TE2, DL depth, S depth, CB depth.

Hopefully now that Watson has decided where he's going things will start moving for us, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Bummer. We'll definitely miss him. Great ST player and a good backup at safety.
