Competition ongoing for Colts' number three tight end spot

For the past four years, the Colts tight end position hasn't been one that prompted many questions, as Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen provided a very nice top two and Jack Doyle recently has been a good number three.

This offseason, things are different. Fleener left in free agency to sign a big contract with the New Orleans Saints, while Allen was rewarded with a big contract from the Colts. Allen is back, and Jack Doyle is too, but after those two guys the depth at the position is entirely up for grabs.

There's Erik Swoope, the former collegiate basketball player who the Colts have been working with the past two seasons.
