INDIANAPOLIS -- Patience has (hopefully) paid off again for general manager Chris Ballard and the Indianapolis Colts.
Free agency began about a month ago, and Ballard sat back, watched and waited as the initial flurry of signings took place knowing his team lacked a starting cornerback.
The general manager finally addressed that need with the addition of five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore on Friday.
Sound familiar?
That was basically the same thing Ballard did prior to trading for quarterback Matt Ryan last month.
It’s not the approach some of the team’s fan base likes, but Ballard is a believer in being methodical when it comes to attacking free agency.
