Let him walk.

We'll get another white guy to replace him.

I would like to have him come back, he is a solid contributor to the team. however, it's not worth overpaying him.

If he gets a contract outside ballard's desired figure, then good for jack.

He will. He is blooming into a all-around weapon and will hwlp someone out greatly.

Someone will pay big bucks.

I would hope that if they are seriously considering allowing Doyle to walk that they are really keen on Swoope stepping up. Although our offensive line seemed to improve, we could take another step backwards due to the reduced blocking ability of our TE's....Doyle was very good at this aspect of the game.

I actually think that if i had to make a choice between Doyle and Allen i would prefer to keep Doyle. Although when healthy i think Allen is an outstanding player and probably has a higher ceiling than Doyle.

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.

He's the only TE on the team that can catch AND block without getting hurt.

A) It was obvious that Luck has a comfort level with Doyle.

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.

He had a solid season. I dont know about great.

Andrew Luck is a great qb, and im sure he'll continue to be with Allen, Swoope, and insert name here.

I would like to resign him, but lets not forget who was pitching him the ball.

He started off great, but didn't stay at the same level all season. Not his fault, I think the offense just featured him less. That is my impression anyway, no stats to back that up at all.

I hope he comes back but TE is low on the list of concerns. Can't pay him and Allen the same amount and sink too many cap dollars into that position.
