Jelani Woods would be the Colts’ starting tight end if the season began today. He caught 25 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns the previous season.
Yet, the Colts might be able to acquire New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger by trade, according to the Bleacher Report Scouting Report:
From an offensive standpoint, it appears like the Colts ought to have included a possible starter at tight end at some point in the process. Even though the free-agent market is already crowded out, it makes sense to go for Daniel Bellinger, who is now in a tight end room with youngster Theo Johnson and Darren Waller.
Bellinger, who caught 55 passes for 523 yards and two touchdowns in his first two seasons, would offer some upside as a pass-catcher.
Nevertheless, despite outrageously uneven play from a rotating cast of Giants quarterbacks who registered a staggering 104.8 passer rating when targeting him, Bellinger only dropped one pass in the previous season.
NFL teams have seen success matching up rookie quarterbacks with dependable tight ends, and Bellinger might be the kind of player Richardson needs to advance.
