$194.037m = 2018 Colts Salary Cap

$118.380m = Top 51 Current Contracts
$001.110m = Spots 52/53 on Active Roster
$001.779m = Dead Money
$009.877m = Projected Draft Pool (#3 overall is expensive...)
$001.200m = 10-man Practice Squad
$003.000m = In-Season "Churn" Space
==========
$135.346m = 2018 Cap Obligations

$058.691m = Free Cap Space to spend on Free Agents

$58m in cap space buys A LOT of potential free agents at $8m per season averages.

Sure, a CB1 will cost more per season. A WR1/2 might cost more. Nate Solder or Andrew Norwell will cost more.

But a veteran RB, veteran guards not named Norwell, linebackers or depth DEs are all going to cost less.

I don't want Ballard to sign folks just to sign folks....but there is A LOT of money for him to use to fill holes on this roster.

Walk Worthy,

Why is everyone in the media saying the Colts have north of 77mil in cap space??
