Former basketball player Erik Swoope will have a chance to be Colts' No. 3 tight end

INDIANAPOLIS -- For four years it was Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener or Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen as the top two tight ends for the Indianapolis Colts.

Now it’s Allen and the next tight end to step up for the Colts with Fleener calling New Orleans home after he signed a deal with the Saints.

@MikeWellsNFL #coltsmail Is Swoopes ready to jump into the Fleener role?

@MikeWellsNFL: The Colts would ideally like for Erik Swoope to take another step in 2016 after spending the past two seasons on the practice squad.
