Colts think player development is key to championships

Chris Ballard has not been known for flashy signings. He has focused on drafting good players and developing them and keeping them under contract. He, just like Jim Irsay and the rest of the organization, think that will be the key to winning a championship.

The only person in recent history who didn’t have that philosophy was Ryan Grigson. He tried to make splashy signings in the offseason. He signed veterans to bad contracts that didn’t work out. Most of those players were either cut or moved on after their contracts expired.

Because of that terrible style, the Colts got Ballard.
