Indianapolis Colts – $50.3 million

Melvin Ingram . 9. player. 46. Yes Andrew Luck needs more protection and a better running game but Ryan Grigson got at least one thing right. He understands that if the Indianapolis Colts are going to take on the AFC elite, they can’t do it without a proper defense. Such a unit begins and ends with how good the pass rush is. Robert Mathis has retired. Erik Walden is into his 30s. This team doesn’t have many options on the edge, and it’s going to kill them until it’s fixed. <p>Melvin Ingram doesn’t get the same amount of press these days as teammate Joey Bosa. That’s a shame too because he’s quietly put together a pair of solid seasons as outside linebacker for the newly minted Los Angeles Chargers. That includes 18.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles. The health problems that dogged him early in his career seem to have passed. Now he’s become an effective every-down edge linebacker. Exactly what the Colts want.</p>. OLB. Los Angeles
