But is the difference make on that defense, but how many big money players is this team going to be able to afford?

It is a lot of money but if I had to give it to one guy on that defense it would be Sanders. He has stepped up huge since Freeney has been out. The defense runs through him. Last year when he was hurt, the Colts were giving up 5.3 yards per carry. This year they are 1st in pass defense and are down to something like 3 and a half yards per carry. In terms of your last question, we can use the franchise tag on Clark if needed to keep him around, so then Clark, Manning, Addai, Wayne, Harrison, Vinatieri, Sanders, Freeney would all be locked up for a minimum of 3 years.
