Jack Doyle to Test the Market
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Despite the Colts' attempts to sign him over the past week, Colts TE Jack Doyle has plans to test free-agent market, per source. This is probably for the best. Yes, he's a nice player and it's not like this addition by subtraction by any means, and one could certainly argue over whether he'd be more deserving of a long-term contract over Dwayne Allen, but of all the holes this team has, dedicating significant resources to TE, where resources are already dedicated doesn't seem practical. Allen/Swoope would be a TE duo that I'd expect should do well enough, particularly with the amount we've already invested in WR. The bottom line is, the amount of money that we'd have to offer him right now to convince him to not even test the FA market is more than we should be giving him, period. If he comes back and is willing to sign at a number that makes sense for us (what we're likely offering him now, as Schefter is reporting the Colts have tried to extend him), then wonderful. |

Sigh, this is sad for me I haved liked him since day one. It is a thin free agency class for TE so someone will throw big bucks at him and he will be a quality player for someone else.
TE class in draft is deep. I could see use using a 4th, 5th or 6th on TE now which sucks since i want all defense except for mud round RB. Cheers, Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

At least they'll have Allen for maybe 9 games.

Why is that?
Do you think that Ballard isn't giving a fair offer, or do you think that he should overpay no matter what the price in order to keep him? It is likely that Doyle's agent told him to turn down the Colts offer unless they were overpaying to see what he can get on the free agent market, and he may be right. They may find a team or two that will be willing to overpay. That isn't Ballard's fault. Doyle is a solid player, but not someone to pay crazy money to. |

B) Doyle is more than just solid, he was great last season. C) I could see us regretting it if Doyle signs with another team...like how Grigson didn't want to pay Jerrel Freeman.

I had really hoped that when I became a Mod, I could ban Omaha.
