But, in general, rather than shopping outside of the organization for free agents, they try to draft people, develop them, and then give them market-value second contracts whenever possible. Such a dynamic rewards player loyalty with organizational loyalty. Is this not true?
The Colts also have two things that most teams do not have, a good if not very good line and arguably the best Quarterback ever.
