A year ago, they risked about $2.5 million on another veteran free agent with a first-round pedigree to help Indy's still young receiving contingent.

They come in all sizes for all jobs, from pass rushers Jared Allen, Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith to running backs Maurice Jones-Drew and Willis McGahee.
