Longtime Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has been calling the shots for 9 years and counting as the head of the Horseshoe’s football operations, but Monday was the first time that he’s ever made a significant splash on the actual ‘Day 1’ of NFL free agency.
Ballard knows just as the rest of us do, that if he doesn’t get it right this offseason and turn this thing around, that he may not be counting his active years with the Colts much longer.
With an increasingly impatient NFL owner, It’ll presumably be someone else come next offseason deciding how to properly spend team owner Jim Irsay’s dollars in free agency.
