Another ex-Eagle has landed in Indy. The Colts traded little-used defensive lineman Clifton Geathers to Philadelphia for fullback Stanley Havili.
It's a pretty good move. The Colts needed a fullback, and Havili is a versatile one.
He's not the punishing blocker most people desire at the position, but does a decent job clearing holes and keeping blitzers at bay. In college, he was regarded as a receiving threat, but did not do all that well recording 7-43-0 on 11 targets with one drop. He's not a bad runner, going 6-22-1 as a rook. And, rare for a fullback, can make people miss. He could definitely get some snaps in at halfback.
The biggest problem with Havili is his injury history.
And, in other news, Jeff Linkenbach signed his tender.

A team can never have enough good football players.
For a low cost, the COLTS acquired one.
Lets see if he can initially contribute on special teams and then work his way to a viable option on the third down passes out of the backfield.
