Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard kept insisting he would be judicious in free agency. On Wednesday, a week after the first big wave of signings, Ballard opened his chequebook and made the biggest acquisition of his tenure by adding defensive end Justin Houston. “I think they can help me as much as I can help them,” he told local reporters on a conference call. This was a rare splash move by Ballard, who went into free agency with roughly $100 million in salary cap room. Houston also will help anchor a line that includes Hunt, Jabaal Sheard and Denico Autry, and he can’t wait to get started.
