Doyle signed to three year extension

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This will keep him here until he retires.

I wonder what this means for Ebron

[2006Coltsbestever]

Ebron is gone IMO. This is a great move though because Doyle is a good TE.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I hate to say it we are better with Doyle getting more touches. Ebron hurt this team this year.

Ebron is history...I hope.

Great signing of Doyle.

[Colts_Fan12]

not bad for us at all still hope to draft another TE either this year or next.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

He gets paid pretty well.

 

 

[DynaMike]

IMHO this is good news, depending on the salary numbers of course. Doyle is a good all-around TE, and also he rules lol.

[BProland85]

Good move with Ballard most likely letting Ebron walk unless he wants to sign for a mid range contract.

I always thought they were going to sign Jack.  So to me they are separate and not related.

Probably will have little to no effect one way or the other. We have so much available cash, we can pretty much sign anyone

Ebron didn’t hurt this team. Not any more than anyone else. And Doyle has had some big time drops as well. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I would think with AC staying healthy this year and having one of his best years we will see him re-signed here soon. His context will probably be a lot of money.

We are better this year with Doyle getting more touches period.  Ebron was playing like crap and couldn’t stay out of his own head. I would take 19 Doyle’s over one Ebron.

AC contract is going to be huge. Don’t be surprised if they give Kelly the long term extension also. He has stayed healthy which is what we want to see. Both are going to be some of the highest paid players in the league at their positions.

Kelly we already used the 5 year option. Hes signed til 2020 

[1959Colts]

One of my favorite players. Happy to see this extension.

[dodsworth]

Mr Steady locked up for 3 more years!

And we still have 100 mil plus whatever the cap increase is

A bird in hand is definitely worth more than two in the bush. Reward the guy who has been a steady floor for you and the coaches know all about him in practices and all the dirty work he does on game day. Doyle has never been about stats, and if stats happen, they happen with him. He won't wow anyone in the gym but he will always be that steadying force you can count on. Like everyone, he has had his down moments but he has had far more steady moments than down ones, and that is why they love him.

 

Well deserved Jack!!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think it’s pretty cool he has been such a good and steady player that he will have played mostly his entire career in the city he grew up.

[CantBeStopped]

So we're going to let one of our best play makers in Ebron, walk. Sound like an excellent move. No offense to jack he's a good player but he is not the playmaker that Ebron is. Say what you want about him but he can't throw the ball to himself. The only thing that changed was his QB. 

[DougDew]

Good extension.

No one from the Colts said anything about Ebron. We can sign him if we want. Doyle has nothing, nada to do with Ebron staying or going. We can easily afford both and need both

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he had 80 yards with Ebron out.  

 

He can have the stats if the Colts actually try to play him that way.

Ebron has stone hands and is useless as a blocker. Glad he will be gone.

Well, if he can catch it when it hits his hands, that sure would help. You have to catch the ball to make plays, did Ebron forget that while thinking about breaking Gronk's record for TDs? One good year got to his own head. History tells you that his turnaround last year was more of an outlier and he went back to his Lions days of dropping balls again.

Nah he has a trash QB throwing the ball to him

What does signing Doyle have to do with Ebron?......…...…. Nothing.

Even on passes thrown directly to him he had stone hands no thanks on a new contract for him.

Hopefully he can stay healthy during that time.

Which is why Ebron hurt us this year. Doyle getting more targets might of helped the offense this year because Eric was to erratic.

[GoColts8818]

Glad to keep jack in the fold.

To be fair, he had drop issues last year with Luck too. That said, I hope we keep him

This is a kick in the rear to Ebron, IMO. Jack deserves it. We are better when he's on the field. 

[Coffeedrinker]

I have to admit, I'm surprised but I think it's a good Doyle is a real lunch pail guy that is good to have on a team.

 It was great to see Doyle look like he can last Sunday. No Ebron freed up the offense. Jack can keep doing this for several more years. Yaaaa!
