Yes. Its also in Taylors best interest to get healthy, show what he can do. What GM is trading for a guy who has been rehabbing since last season and still cant play

Yeah I think it all comes down to if he really did report in with this "back" issue. If so, he may have absolutely crushed his future by playing loose with the way the NFL operates.

that won't play well in the locker room. not that i exactly disagree

Wow....this guy made some excellent points, I have changed my mind, it's very doubtful a trade is made, JT needs to suck it up and play for the team and his teammates! His payday will come if he acts like a professional and does his job!

It may be quite possible that despite all of the turmoil and dissent regarding this seemingly disastrous Jonathan Taylor contract dispute, both sides need to kiss and make up ...... l BOTH l for the sake of the Colts' 2023 season l AND l for the sake of Jonathan Taylor's career as an individual player.

Its a sensible and reasonable and thats why it wont happen. Both sides need to make concessions, and people have lost the ability to compromise.

I’m not sure what the Colts need to make concessions on or even how they would. It’s easy to say the they should throw him a bone and up his salary for this year. Or sign him to a mid level contract extension - 2 for 22 or something like that. The problem with a decent two year contract isn’t likely the Colts, it’s likely JT. Every indication is he wants a lot more and likely for longer. Now, I’m sure he’d happily take a bump up to $10m this year if that’s the suggestion, but what does that say to MP? He’s in pretty much the same boat as JT. He’s just at a more valuable position and is handling it much better. At this point it would be stupid to screw MP to give in to JTs hissy fit. So how do the Colts realistically make concessions to JT beyond “prove you are healthy and work in the scheme and we will pay you?”

With how fast the Trey Lance trade happened, I can tell the Colts don't want to trade JT.

Lance going for a 4th means I don’t want to hear any argument that Taylor is worth a 3/4. His camp should understand.

His camp should also recognize for 16 million, if we concede that is his value (I’m not letting them walk that shit back), Miami should be fine parting with a first.

OldColt’s description of him being an asset is the objective truth. His only means of getting the bag are through Indianapolis. We get what we want, or Jonathan can fuck off.

I want Taylor in the backfield but with or without him we will have an excellent running game. Rather than AR needing Taylor, Taylor really needs AR. The holes JT will have (or any of our backs) are a direct result of AR., and they are impressive holes.

14-15 million a year?

I'm not all the way there yet... but if this goes down, it'll be the fastest complete-180 I've taken on a guy outside of finding out violent criminal or something.

I've never been more prepared to root against a player and a team.

Helllll no! Waive him. Get rid of the cancerous cretin once and for all. How can they expect fans to cheer for that asshole, even if/when he winds up staying? GET OUT.

And he's injured

I’m afraid the Colts are going to blink and take whatever they can get for him. It seems like he just wants out.

Not surprising. Haven't we been speculating that he asked for CMC money?
