Indianapolis Colts: Jack Doyle

Jack Doyle emerged for the Indianapolis Colts back in 2016, hauling in nearly 60 catches after grabbing only 35 in the previous three years combined. In 2017, he really burst onto the scene, collecting 80 catches within a Colts offense that was without star quarterback Andrew Luck for the season.

Last season, Doyle had to battle through injuries. That led to Eric Ebron stepping in as the No. 1 tight end for the Colts. Ebron found the end zone 13 times, and obviously developed a solid rapport with Luck in the Colts passing game. For a team that was not expected to do much, the Colts ended up making it all the way to the AFC Divisional Round.

Ebron’s emergence this past season gives the Colts a good problem to have, as they have a bunch of solid tight ends on the roster. Ebron is a $7 million cap hit in 2019, and Doyle is a bit over $5.3 million, so even though the Colts have a ton of cap space heading into next season, they may decide to let Doyle go.

Of course, the Colts have done a nice job building this roster. Even with Ebron and Doyle on the payroll for 2019, they still have over $100 million in cap space. Indianapolis may want to roll with an elite tight end duo in 2019 by having a healthy Ebron and Doyle on the field. That being said, they also have some holes on both sides of the ball that they may want to fix first.
