Where do the Colts spend their money?

The salary cap has had a tremendously large impact on the sports and especially in the NFL, where they employ a hard salary cap, which means all teams work with the same amount of money and cannot exceed it. It’s important that when spending money, you get the proper value from the dollars you spend. If you spend a lot of money at one position, that position better perform at a high level. If you don’t spend a lot of money at one position, then getting them to play at or above league average is a good thing. A good rule of thumb is for a position to at least match its value; that means that if you spend the 12th most on wide receivers, your receiver group should be at least the 12th strongest in the NFL.
