“You all know my philosophy on free agency. You cannot buy a championship. You cannot buy a locker room. We will continue to go down the same road we’ve been going down.”
Said Ballard on his season-ending press conference at the beginning of January. I'm aware that I am no-one to challenge his opinions, but this might be the perfect time for the Colts to finally make a splurge in free agency.
First, I fully agree with Ballard’s statement. You simply can’t build a team just with free-agents. Your main focus has to be on the Draft, which is a Ballard strength, but he would be foolish to ignore the impact a good free agent signing can have.
