    • Actually they can’t without some restructuring which as has been pointed out the Colts could do but don’t seem interested in it.  When you account for rookies and Flacco they have something like $13 or $14 left and Sneed wants $22 million a year.  That’s also just this year.  The Colts will have more free agents they will want to sign next year like Buckner perhaps that may want a raise and you can’t count on another $30 million cap increase like this year.  
    • Yes but if the average team is worth 5.1 billion dollars and the league makes almost 20 billion a year in revenue and they have revenue sharing like the NFL does even the smallest team in the NFL isn’t hard up for cash.
    • The truth is Colts can still afford what Sneed asks and also have re-signed all those guys. It's never one or other, as contracts can be restructured/extended to create cap space or convert an existing contract into signing bonus and add void years to push the cap hit into more years.   Ballard had not done that in the past, but he'll do it as Colts enter Richardson era.   As Stephen Holder claims, it's not expensive Free Agent (not plural) vs own free agents, Holder talks as of it's not technically possible and is being reiterated so here. That's not the case in truth.   If Ballard thinks the way Holder says, that might be for this year, unwilling to start getting into cap movements into future, but as he'll be forced to do the same in few years, he might as well start doing it so that such restructures get distributed over many years rather than getting lumped together when Richardson wants to get paid.
