For better or worse, Ballard has rarely gotten close to being in cap danger.According to , the Colts currently have roughly $25.9 million in salary-cap space Mikkel Boedker Jersey entering training camp the 10th-most in the NFL.Whether the Colts will want to use some of that salary-cap space to bring in a veteran remains to be seen. It doesn' Marc-Edouard Vlasic Kids Jersey t appear likely, but there's always a small chance something happens.Available on the free-agent market are players like Justin Simmons, Quandre Diggs and Stephon Gilmore. Any one of those three would help the Colts in the secondary, which is their biggest concern on the roster.While the Colts have constantly talked about the faith they have in the Joe Pavelski Men Jersey young cornerback and safety rooms, adding some competition wouldn't hurt at all. This is especially true considering the high probability those veterans sign on for one year.They also could Timo Meier Jersey look into po sible extensions for players like Dayo Odeyingbo or Ryan Kelly, both of which are going into the final years of their respective contracts.Either way, Ballard and the Colts have plenty of money to get some deals done if they want to ahead of training camp.

is providing a daily glimpse at the best players in each bowl game and predictions from writers Gil Brandt, Bucky Brooks, Daniel Jeremiah, Bryan Fischer, Chase Goodbread and Mike Huguenin.BIRMINGHAM BOWLSite: Birmingham, Ala.Date: Jan. 3Time/TV: 1 p.m. ET, ESPN2Matchup: East Carolina (8-4) vs. Florida (6-5)Top players to watch: East Carolina (QB Shane Carden, WR Justin Hardy, OT Ike Harris, WR Cam Worthy); Florida (DE Dante Fowler Jr., C Max Garcia, CB Vernon Hargreaves III, TB Matt Jones, LB Antonio Morrison).Why NFL fans should tune in: Jan. 3 will feature NFL wild-card playoff games, so maybe tune into this and get revved up for playoff football? Then again, this might not Max Pacioretty Kids Jersey be suitable pre-playoff viewing. Florida's motivation is questionable; the Gators will be playing for an interim coach (D.J. Durkin) who already knows he's not being retained. ECU's senior pa s-catch duo of Carden and Hardy is one of the most prolific in NCAA history. Hardy (6-0, 188) already holds the FBS record for career receptions (376, for 4,381 yards, which is sixth-most in history), while Carden (6-2, 221) has thrown for a school-record 11,564 yards and 84 touchdowns. Carden's yardage total is 34th all-time and a 250-yard game would put him 30th (currently, is 30th, 32nd and 33rd). Worthy (6-3, 220), a senior, has good size, and while he has been inconsistent, he has an intriguing skill set; he had a monster game in a win over Virginia Tech (six receptions for 224 yards, one of four 100-yard games for him this season). Harris (6-7, 304) is a junior who should get some NFL looks next season. ECU will mi s standout NT Terry Williams (6-1, 353), who was ruled ineligible for the game by the school. He has a ton of talent (figurative, not literal, though his conditioning sometimes makes you wonder), but he doesn't always show it. He can be flat-out dominating at times, and he holds up extremely well at the point of attack. Florida's offense has been a me s for four seasons and that is why the Gators have a new coach. Jones (6-2, 235), a junior, already has . He Brad Hunt Women Jersey 's a tough inside runner who has good hands and is a willing blocker, and he could be a third-day pick. Garcia (6-5, 310), a senior, turned into a team leader after transferring from Maryland following his sophomore season. His versatility -- he has started at tackle, guard and center in his college career -- makes him an appealing prospect; this season was his first as a center, and he played well. Fowler (6-3, 261), a junior who already has , and Hargreaves (5-11, 195), a sophomore, are among the best players nationally at their positions. Fowler is athletic and was used in a variety of roles by UF coaches. He has good pa s-rush skills and a high-level motor, and he holds up against the run. Hargreaves figures to spend a lot of the day against Hardy, which will be must-watch viewing for scouts. Hargreaves has good speed and excellent instincts, and also works hard in run support. Vegas Strong Women Jersey Morrison (6-1, 225) is a try-hard junior with OK speed who can deliver a blow. He leads the Gators with 98 tackles.Game predictions: Brandt: East Carolina, 21-20 Brooks: East Carolina, 35-32 Jeremiah: East Carolina, 28-24 Fischer: East Carolina, 24-18 Goodbread: East Carolina, 24-13 Huguenin: East Carolina, 23-21GODADDY.COM BOWLSite: Mobile, Ala.Date: Jan. 4Time/TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNMatchup: Arkansas State (7-5) vs. Toledo (8-4)Top players to watch: Arkansas State (CB Artez Brown, RB Michael Gordon, QB Fredi Knighten, LB Qushaun Lee, FS Sterling Young); Toledo (K Jeremiah Detmer, RB Kareem Hunt, C Greg Mancz, OT Chase Nelson, LB Junior Sylvestre).Why NFL fans should tune in: OK, we get that this isn't exactly a scintillating matchup, but it is the penultimate FBS game of the season, so why wouldn't you watch? Knighten (6-1, 189), a junior, is 13th nationally in total offense (304.1 yards per game) and has done a nice job in his first season as a starter running the Red Wolves' version of the spread; he has rushed for 11 TDs. Gordon (5-8 Maxime Lagace Men Jersey , 187) is a quick back who, not surprisingly, is good in space; he has had five 100-yard games and rushed for 13 TDs. Lee (5-11, 247), a senior, is on the short side, but he's also a tackle machine. He is a big hitter and has 379 career tackles, fifth-most among active players, to go along with eight career interceptions. Brown (6-0, 180) and Young (6-2, 193) are seniors who head an OK secondary. Brown has good speed and four interceptions, while Young lacks top-end speed but is a heady player who is good in run support. Toledo leads the MAC in total offense and Hunt (5-11, 215), a sophomore, leads the league in rushing (151.1 yards per game); he mi sed three games this season with an ankle injury but hit the 100-yard plateau in each of the nine games he played. Mancz (6-5, 300) is a four-year starter for the Rockets; this is his first season at center after moving from guard, and he was the best lineman in the MAC. Nelson (6-8, 315) is huge and his size will intrigue NFL teams. Sylvestre (6-0, 222), a senior, lacks size, but he runs well, is productive (212 tackles, including 19 tackles for lo s, in the past two seasons) and packs a wallop. Detmer (5-8, 180), a senior, is steady Tomas Tatar Women Jersey and has made 65 career field goals, second-most among active players.Game predictions: Brandt: Toledo, 35-27 Brooks: Arkansas State, 32-30 Jeremiah: Arkansas State, 28-21 Fischer: Arkansas State, 33-31 Goodbread: Arkansas State, 35-28 Huguenin: Toledo, 34-27*Follow College Football 24/7 on Twitter *

The Potters have apparently had a bid of 1 million rejected for acting Watford captain (in the absence of Jay Demerit) Tommy Smith. The bid reportedly falls some way short of the 3 million value the Hertfordshire club place on the 28 year old striker. Smith, who can also play as an attacking midfielder is currently in his second spell with Watford, where he Derrick Thomas Jersey started his career and found himself again two years ago, via reasonably succe sful spells at Sunderland and Derby Couty. In total he has scored 52 goals in 265 appearances for the Hornets, and has averaged around ten goals a Khalen Saunders Jersey season for the majority of his career. Stokes Premier League rivals Blackburn are also said to be in the hunt for Smith, with the hierarchy at the Lancashire club seemingly prepared to pay 2 million to secure the players services. It is clear that we need top bring in at least one more striker in the January transfer window but if Smith really is a serious target I must say I am surprised. He does not suit our typical forward player at all, he is well under six feet tall and weighs just ten stone so would not be best suited to playing either the Mamady Sidibe target man Travis Kelce Jersey or the Ricardo Fuller tank role if called upon to play for us. His goalscoring record of one in five on average is Christian Okoye Jersey hardly eye-catching either. He is a decent Championship player but aged 28, in the so-called prime of his career he seems to have found his level, and in my opinion it would be foolish of Stoke to spend any great deal of money on him while there seems to bebetter players, who would improve our survival chances far more than Smith would available for similar amounts of money. (The 3 million not the 1 million)Smith not the first player that springs to mind when one thinks of a Tony Pulis Joe Montana Jersey forward line Meanwhile, Stokes prospective mood for Celtics Scottish international defenderGary Caldwell seems to be dead in the water before it had ever really gotgoing, Caldwell saying that he is happy at Celtic and has no wish to move away from the club.

Swinney certainly has to be happy (hey, see NFL New York Giants Jersey what we did there?) these days with the play of true freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson.
