INDIANAPOLIS -- Offseason No. 1 was centered around cleaning house by replacing the older players with younger, hungrier ones for Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard.
Offseason No. 2 has arrived, and for Ballard it’s no longer about simply cleaning house again. It’s about using the more than $70 million in salary-cap space and the seven draft picks, including No. 3 overall, to ensure they have the proper players on the field to avoid another 4-12 season. The next step in that process officially begins on Wednesday when free agents can be signed.
Ballard isn’t delusional.
