Before signing LT Eric Fisher for $9.4M, the Colts had around $20M of cap space.

In March they signed LT Sam Tevi for $3,170,000.

Also in March the Colts signed LT Julie'n Davenport for a little under $1M.

Colts know they have a need, but they aren't sure how to resolve the problem.

To help with LT until Fisher is ready, maybe they now go after Russell Okung or Charles Leno with some of that cap money.

Seeing this makes me happy the Chiefs took the route that they did at LT.

He whiffed on hiring his first choice as Head Coach and did absolutely nothing, outside of spending the #6 overall draft pick on a MOTHER****ING GUARD, to help out Andrew Luck or prepare to move forward without him due to constant and nagging injuries.

They might win the South this season because they play in maybe the weakest division in all of football but if Trevor Lawrence is as good as many believe, the Colts will be finishing 2nd-4th for the foreseeable future because they don't have a quarterback and are stuck with a GM that's content with going 9-7 every season.
He drafted Nelson and Braden Smith in 18. Luck went from one of the most sacked qb’s to the least sacked qb in one year, thanks to Ballards draft and Reichs offense.

To say he did nothing to help Luck is hilariously wrong.

Yep, but I'm sure the Colts medical team checked him out and they think he will be ready sooner rather than later. Mid Aug. will be nearly 7 months. I don't think they would pay him 9.5 mil if they didn't think he would be ready. JMO

Not true - Pioli had a weird fascination with utter garbage TEs and trash Safeties :

Rashard Langford, Steve Menari, Shabby Piscatelli, Jon McGraw, Kendrick Lewis, and Leonard Pope all say "whassup!?"

Don't you dare disrespect washed up Mike Brown like that. Very worthy addition to that list.

He drafted a LG at 6. A sure fire LG that everyone said was going to be good. He gets about as much credit for Nelson as Pioli does for drafting Berry. Not ****ing much.

Indy lucks into getting Luck with the first overall draft pick in 2012 after Manning's injury... transitioning from one franchise QB to another... while the Chiefs do their usual "Because the Chiefs" and get the first overall draft pick a year later in arguably the weakest first round draft in modern history, taking Fisher #1 overall.

And fast forward about a decade later and the Chiefs are set with Mahomes/OBJ at left tackle, while the Colts are attempting a Wentz/Fisher broke dick combination.

Karma.

Fisher started 100/110 regular season games since his awful rookie season. That’s 91% availability.

Not sure I would call him a brokedick

Maybe calling him a broke dick is overly harsh, but his availability for most of the upcoming season will be uncertain.

Some players never really come back from that. They way overpaid.

Sorry, spending the #6 pick overall on a ****ing GUARD is not helping your QB, especially since starting guards in the NFL can be found on Day 3 or even as undrafted college free agents.

But hey, it seems as if you're invested in a shitty Colts team so you can do you.

Exactly.

If Ballard had even a standard size set of balls, he'd have turned that #6 overall into multiple picks to fill out their roster.

Instead, they're looking at paying a guard $16 million per year, if not more, or watching him walk in Free Agency.

Hoopsdoc should stick to hoops.

LMAO

You have NO idea what you’re talking about.

They originally had the 3rd pick. They traded it to the Jets for 6, 36, 49, and the Jets 2nd rounder in 2019. And took Nelson, who has been named all pro AND pro bowler in each of his first 3 seasons.

Nelson would have been a good pick at 3 and Ballard got him at 6, plus four more picks.

Also, he’s not walking and he’ll be worth every penny they pay him.

Dane should stick to Hollywood.

Hopefully this will finally end the dreams of some of the people here thinking Schwartz and Fisher would be coming back.
