There is no such thing as a secret that the Indianapolis Colts want so as to add expertise to the tight finish place. Might that embrace pursuing New York Giants pending free agent Evan Engram?
A primary-round decide with the Giants in 2017, Engram has flashed elite upside as a receiver. He hasn’t been in a position to put all of it collectively, although, and his points with focus drops have plagued his profession to this point.
However the Colts nonetheless could also be wanting so as to add that sort of expertise and upside to the roster. Mike Garafolo mentioned Friday on NFL Community’s “Good Morning Soccer” that the Colts may very well be eyeing the Ole Miss product.
“I heard Evan Engram could be in play in Indianapolis so keep watch over that one,” mentioned Garafolo on Friday morning.
Whereas this isn’t an official report that the Colts are going for Engram—they’ve some curiosity in all gamers set to hit the market—the match wouldn’t be a horrible one.
Engram’s profession might not have taken off to the purpose the place he’s made good on his first-round draft capital. However he has nonetheless supplied flashes of upside that can make groups intrigued.
The Colts have a determined want so as to add playmakers to their offense. Although it isn’t clear what course they’ll go in after buying and selling away quarterback Carson Wentz, they’ll’t afford to be uber-picky in terms of including expertise.
The latest retirement of starter Jack Doyle additionally complicates issues whereas pending free agent Mo Alie-Cox has but to be re-signed. The one tight finish at present on the roster is Kylen Granson, who simply completed his rookie season.
No matter who the Colts have below middle, they want extra explosive playmakers on offense. Engram can present worth if the Colts can maintain him from committing the drive-killing drops he had in East Rutherford.
His measurement and pace make him a mismatch everywhere in the subject and if the Colts are in a position to take a one-year flier on Engram, it might not be a nasty transfer.
