Interesting.  They need more weapons on offense and he’s as good as any out there at the moment.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Doyle/Ebron duo could definitely create some mismatches for defenses, I'd like to see this one happen.

[P'Son]

We don't need this guy.  We have Swoope and others in the pipeline.

[Alex22]

I like Ebron, he was compared to Vernon Davis when he came out.

 

Davis also took some time to mature and Ebron is only 24. 

[MarquisJ]

sigh 

[PrincetonTiger]

Could be a nice signing

[Mr.Debonair]

I watched Him single handily destroy my Hurricanes when he was at UNC. He still talented! I wouldn't him.

You'd take Swoope over Ebron? Ebron and Doyle on the field with TY would be a huge boost for our offense.

[PrincetonTiger]

I like the fact that he is coming here 1st

I'm saying we let Swoope show us what he can do for the team and put our FA money elsewhere. Swoope has looked good when healthy.  I think he'll be more than adequate this year.

I'm not so sure about that. Swoope is alright, and I like him. I just think for a productivity standpoint out of the gate, I'd put my money on Ebron.

Tight end Eric Ebron is set for a visit with the Panthers on Friday and he reportedly has another visit lined up if he doesn’t strike a deal in Carolina.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Ebron has scheduled a visit with the Colts on Sunday. He’d join Jack Doyle, who led the Colts in receptions with 80 last season, at tight end in Indianapolis.

Schefter adds that Ebron will “potentially” visit the Patriots after that, but there doesn’t appear to be a date set for such a meeting.

I am a UNC fan and don't feel bad.  Eric destroyed a lot of college teams when he played at Carolina.  He would be a major upgrade over all our all TE we have other than Jack Doyle.  That is because of Jacks blocking ability.  Eric would be a big fast target for Andrew.

[Luck 4 president]

Our success with TEs over the years has to be attractive to him. Have him compete with Swoope 

[richard pallo]

Ebron vs. Swoope?  No contest!   Another classic Ballard signing!  If he gets out of Carolina. I guarantee BB will sign him if we don't. 

[Colts_Fan12]

I really want this to happen always been a fan

Perusing Lions forums.. 

 

Their main concerns were drops and attitude (don't know the details on that).  Apparently he has been inconsistent but started coming on in the latter half of last season.  I think they are down on him more than they should be because he was a bust relative to his draft position and who went directly after him.  Still a good player though.

Just needs a change of scenery and Luck.

Coby aint the physical specimen that Ebron is though. 

 

Seems TE's dont really get on well in Detroit - eg: Pettigrew and now Ebron. 

 

Our offense seemed to lean more so on the TE and hopefully it still will as Reich has shown he knows how to get them involved, with Ertz Celek and Trey.

 

I actually was hoping we would sign Trey.

What do we need him for we have tight ends that are better than him already.

yeah i don’t understand tbh... the kid had 53 catches and 500 something yards lol playing 16 games in 2017 who knows could be i good compliment to JD?

[backshoulderfade]

Would be a typical Ballard signing. Young, elite measurables, high ceiling.

ROSS TRAVIS can be a good player if given more snaps...Check out....

 

Doyle and Travis... I like these two

Better than a Grigson signing

  Over the Hill or hurt

Under the current system at least 3 are needed

I'm starting to think Ballard isn't that impressed with this year's free agent class and doesn't see much talent worth investing in other than for building depth.  He wants to draft most of our starters and potential stars. It is going to take awhile for the Colts to be competitive again most likely.  Problem is we are already into Luck's prime years.  

[1959Colts]

I am hoping we draft TE Mike Gesicki from PSU

[backshoulderfade]

Yes

As much as I would have liked some of these free agents, the money they are getting is crazy. Ballard will pick up some solid players in the second wave that won't put us in cap hell. Hopefully him and his scouting team put together some good drafts!

Him or Fumagali (Spelling)

[coltsfansince65]

I predict he goes to NE, teams up with Gronk & balls out.
