The Colts are heading into free agency with more than $40 million in cap space, and they’re vowing to use it.

Colts G.M. Ryan Grigson said at the Combine that he plans to be aggressive, although he also said he would be smart about not just spending for the sake of spending.

“I think you have to be aggressive no matter what avenue you are going down to acquire players,” Grigson said. “But you can’t just do it for the sake of being aggressive and just get a name, or whomever. It has to be a name that you collectively feel will better your team. You don’t always bat a thousand obviously. It’s a case-by-case basis with each position group, but again, at each spot we are going to try and get guys that play at championship level.”

Eventually the Colts will have to spend a lot of money on a huge new contract for Andrew Luck, but for now they’ve still got Luck on his relatively cheap rookie contract. Now Grigson’s job is to put the kind of team around Luck that can take another step forward, to the Super Bowl.
