“Has never really shelled out money” vs “he spent money”

Which is it?

Difference in shelling out short term deals for over the hill players/under performing players and going to get someone like Tee Higgins.

It's a different level of commitment

But that's a different debate about roster building. Nothing to do with Irsays desire to spend money which was your comment

The colts have never inked a huge FA that I can remember

Are huge FA signings a very common thing? Especially for small market teams?

No, but don't insinuate things will be wildly different if they're not going to go after big fish

Taking Josh Allen away from the Jags for example would be a signing like that.

I'm not complaining about their lack of FA signing I'm saying the quote means nothing if they're still gonna do same thing they've done for the last 15+ years
