Swoope Waived Again

[dw49]

I think he has a future if he can stay on the field.

[CR91]

 

[Lawrence Owen]

Hopefully this is a swap of players. Swoope to P.S., Jalen Collins to active roster.

[coltsfeva]

    I’ve always thought he had talent but Mo Allie Cox is a little bigger and can block without losing the athleticism of Swoope.

     I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get picked up this time.

   

[Boiler_Colt]

Swoope hasn't looked the same since coming back from injury. His movement has been slow and laborious.

[csmopar]

Hmmm round and round we go, who gets the nod this go

[Smoke317]

I didn’t see this coming.  With Doyle down, I’m totally shocked by this move.  Has to be injury related right?

[Luck 4 president]

He’s injury prone. No reason to give him a roster spot when he isn’t consistently healthy. It’s not like he’s not replaceable 

[indyagent17]

I thought some guy name Swoop got cut, any info on him

[richard pallo]

I thought this was coming but I am surprised it happened now.  It seems like he has been on our team forever.  Looks like they feel Cox has overtaken him although I think he will be picked up by another team.  There are a few in need of a TE.

Would be awesome...but I don't think it's likely.

Sure would be nice to havea big WR to plug into the starting lineup.

[Shadow_Creek]

watch Dallas sign him just like the jets did before we played them 

[HectorRoberts]

I hate to say this but this was probably the last time too.

[NewColtsFan]

Hope we reclaim him if possible....

[KelownaColtsFan]

I've always like Swoop, I went to a game in Minnesota in 2016 where Swoop scored a TD and made 3 or 4 other notable plays. Looking back on it, its quite likely that was Swoops best game as a pro.

[ColtsFamilyOfFans]

Seemed to be playing at a high level prior to last injury.  May just be a numbers thing as we have some banged up players and need a productive TE - not someone who has been visibly slowed by injuries.  Hope we can get him back on PS.

Is MO Cox Coming back this week?

Stephen Holder guesses so.

 

NB! No official word on Cox yet.

[lollygagger8]

Swoope, there he went

they can't... its within the window that forbids teams from signing players from opponents the week of their game.  They'd have to wait until Monday.

[Dark Superman]

I think the Erik Swoope experiment is finally over in Indianapolis.

Maybe it means Cox is back.

[cbear]

Doubt he gets picked up so Colts probably feel safe in doing this and getting someone needed for this week.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him picked up next week.

Looks like your probably correct as I don't see where anyone has signed him. So maybe he goes back to the Colt's PS when and if  the 24 hour period elapses .

Perhaps, but Allie-Cox is already on the active roster so they didn't need to release Swoope to make room for Allie-Cox.  Has anyone heard who they moved up or signed?

[1959Colts]

Claimed by the Saints.

The Colts reluctantly waived tight end Erik Swoope on Tuesday. The Saints happily pounced on Wednesday.

Per a league source, the Saints claimed Swoope on waivers...

I think what the poster meant was they could "afford" to waive Swoop with Allie - Cox available this week ? It probably came down to the Colts not wanting to use 4 roster spots on TE's and they felt it made the most sense to waive Swoop. 

[Creekside]

Cox won me over with that one-handed TD grab.

[jameszeigler834]

In regards to swoope just saw he got picked up by the saints best of luck to you swoope.

Yeah, just saw that.  He has potential.  I'm sure he will be utilized more.

Probably the best for both Swoope and for the Colts. For a guy who hung around for four years, his career stats aren't very impressive, and this year the only improvement was in TD catches (3) vs. last year (1). His production just wasn't enough to warrant keeping him. 

 

A fresh start, and perhaps a better opportunity in NO, this might be a better situation for Swoope. He was always one of those guys you can't help but root for, but in the end, it just didn't work out in Indy. 

[strt182]

Is Brandon Marshall any good? That is who the Saints released to sign Swoope.

Best of luck Swoope. Was a joy watching him grow into a football player.

Just thinking that he almost made it through waivers as the Saints would have the last "chance." 

[John Waylon]

He gone.

probably not if two teams that could use receivers let him go this year

 

hes 34 and had a good career, might be time to hang them up 

[Smoke317]

Saints snagged him.  Hopefully it’s another Fleener situation and Payton doesn’t turn him into Jimmy Graham lite...
