I believe the Colts are under that number by approx. $42,000,000. The 89% is required by the CBA, Ballard may be forced to spend some of Irsays money in free agency, I believe if they don't they are fined and money goes to Colts players salary pool...

Draft picks should eat up a chunk along with what ever Castonzo re-signs for, rest must be through extensions and UFA signings.

Sherck could give us exact numbers and tell us what the rookie pool would be, Castanzo's amount, and what we would have to spend. Wish that guy would come back. By the way, I think it would leave between $20 and $25M that we have to spend, which is chump change in this league. Carr or Stafford would cover that amount and be better options than Phillip freaking Rivers!
