Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson has taken some criticism for not building a good enough team around quarterback Andrew Luck. But Grigson says the presence of Luck on the team affects the way they build the rest of the club.

Grigson said on Jay Mohr’s radio show that the Colts can’t spend as much money on defense as they’d like because of the six-year, $139.125 million contract they gave Luck this year.

“When you have to tighten up, once you pay Andrew what we did, it’s going to take some time to build on the other side of the ball,” Grigson said, via Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star.

Surprised they haven't fired him yet. Easily the worst GM in the NFL.

The biggest take away from this is that Ryan Grigson thinks the only way to build a team is with high priced free agents. Apparently he has no faith in his ability to draft well. Which after seeing his draft track record I can agree with.

Yeah I've got absolutely no idea how Pagano and Grigson both survived this offseason. If they're not each gone at the end of this year then Jim Irsay has to be hitting the pills and booze way too hard again. Honestly wouldn't shock me of Pagano at least is gone midseason if the team keeps performing like this.
