Well, I'd that's a very good deal for Dak. He can play at a very good level too. That said ... how much money they have left to sign a competitve roster, not a Peyton-era Colts roster that gets augmented by the QB and falls apart in the playoffs when really badass teams start playing, but a good, competitive roster? They'll need to do some cap wizardry there to make it work.
They've already restructured Smith, Collins, and Martin. They also cut Olawale. They've cleared up about $18 million with those moves. They usually don't go big in free agency, so they have plenty of room to sign a few, re-sign a few, and draft. Hopefully they make the right choices in those three areas.
