Colts’ Swoope signs exclusive rights tender offer, re-joins competitive tight end group

The Indianapolis Colts are starting to have a crowding problem at the tight end position. Veteran Jack Doyle is returning for his sixth NFL season and is coming off of his first Pro Bowl nod, Chris Ballard added former first round pick Eric Ebron through free agency, and former basketball player Erik Swoope is returning from knee surgery in 2017 after showing his potential in the latter half of 2016. There are two other players who showed flashes last year in the tight end rotation, including second year Ballard pick-up Darrell Daniels and late season waiver wire addition Ross Travis — who Ballard knew from his time with the Chiefs.
