“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.”
Two offseasons ago, I started an article with the exact same quote from Chris Ballard, and at the time I have to say I thought his approach was intelligent. After several years of Ryan Grigson splashing away at the big fish in free agency, with little to no results, while blowing away the cap space, it was refreshing watching the Colts take a more conservative approach and save the money to re-sign their own homegrown talent.
