The Star also makes it clear Jack Doyle isn't interested in a hometown discount. The Colts would be smart to re-sign Doyle and cut Dwayne Allen, but ESPN's Adam Schefter previously reported Doyle will be shopping his wares. Tight end-needy teams where Doyle would make sense include the Giants, Jets, and Bears.

Too rich for my blood, IMO. That's about what Allen is making. And while our TE corps was nice last year, it's not a TE duo that's worth making $14M per year combined. We had a good one, but not one where we need to be a team with the most invested in their TE's.
Swoope/Allen will do well enough that the $7M year could be better spent in other areas.
Hats off to Doyle on (potentially) earning that money.

I agree. I've already gone on record as saying $6 million should be the Colts ceiling on Doyle.
