Erik Swoope a trade candidate?

Ya he’s only be worth a 7th to other teams, but he’s good depth for us. CB wouldn’t take a 7th and nobody will give more than a 7th 

 

If they decide on 4 TE's and one of those is not Swoope, Ballard would absolutely take a 7th for him.  Why not get something for a guy you are going to cut anyway.

 

Personally I think a more likely scenario is they keep Doyle, Ebron, Swoope and Travis on the 53 and try to sneak Mo Allie Cox onto the practice squad.

Old article, but I don't think much has changed with their stance.  They waited on the guy throughout the whole OTAs and everything.

Highly doubt it!!

I don't think the Colts would get anything worth giving him up for.   The Browns only got a 2020 7th round pick for Coleman.   Coleman was a mid 1st round pick in 2016 and looked good in the time he played so far.  

Besides, I think the Colts are going to need to run allot of 2 TE sets this season and an injury to Ebron or Doyle would be huge.  Ebron may play more of a WR role.

Hasn't there been some 3 TE sets they've ran during training camp?

Wells is not in position to trade Swoope, so his opinion does not make Swoope a trade candidate.

 

Only if Chris Ballard wants to trade him, would Swoope become a trade candidate.

You're kidding me.

Possibly a 7th rounder maybe? Id rather hang onto him just in case Ebron or Doyle goes down on injury.

 

He isn't going anywhere.

Here is a Colt example

  2006 Colts traded a 2008 7th Round Pick to Baltimore for DE Ryan LaCaase

  RL played only 12 games in the NFL(all for Indy)

I'd rather have depth at a heavily used position (TE) in Reich's offense.   For a late-round pick, i see more value in keeping him.

if Doyle or Ebron goes down, we'd go from a position of strength to a potential weakness.  

Personally, for a 6th or 7th, i'd only trade a guy that was getting cut anyway.  Which i'm sure was the case with that DL.  We also traded a K (who would be cut) to Philly a few years back.

for us to invest all that time in Swoope, then trade him for peanuts before potentially his most prepared year is foolish, imo.

I only see a trade scenario if it looks like Swoope is getting cut.  See what you can get for him.  Besides we should be number four on the waiver wire so we'll get early looks as other teams clear bodies.

Apparently about 3 dozen people in this thread alone aren't aware.

ESPN(Mike Wells) has released a list of possible trade targets and Erik Swoope is on it

 

Really? That’s odd he hasn’t done much of anything noteworthy.
