TE is definitely the least of my concerns this off-season. If he sign's elsewhere then good on him for parlaying his stellar year into some additional money.

I hate to see him go but I also don't want to pay him $5-6 million a year to stay.

Plus I think Swoope if given a chance can play well in his place.

Comfort levels don't mean you should massively overpay someone. I don't think he was great last season. I think he was good at times, very good at times, but great? No.

It sucks that we'll have to spend another draft pick that could be used for defense possibly on a TE now (if they don't pick up another in free agency), but if Doyle wants ridiculous money, you just can't give him that just because.

Go get paid, dude, you earned it.

One of my Giants fan friends tells me Big Blue wants him. They'll overpay him, so for Doyle, that's good. I'm OK with not overpaying him. Colts have more important needs for their dollar.

Agreed on the first point, but I'm not sure you need to spend a pick on TE with Allen and Swoope on the roster. I'd look at UDFA or a later tier of free agency for cheap depth.

I am not paying him $5million, or whatever he will likely ask, a year because of a "comfort level".

I think most of you are underestimating Doyle's value to our offense.

I hope I am wrong but I could see our offense struggling to consistently drive the field if someone else does not step up to join Hilton as a consistent receiver.

No. I think you're overestimating Doyle's value to our offense. Draft another TE in the middle of the draft, and pick up a couple UDFAs after the draft and let them duke it out in training camp. Doyle is estimated to make at least 6.2 million a year. F**k that.

Im not interested in throwing more money to the TE group. It makes no sense, especially with all the needs we have.

Doyle is doing the right thing trying to maximize is profits, but at the same time he can go f**k himself.

I would go 5 for him,but not much more, I suspect he will get more.
