I gotta imagine Steichen has BEEN over it. He’s been having to answer the same damn questions for a month and he hasn’t seen this guy practice once while he’s been trying to establish a culture.

If Indy is going to trade him, it better be painful for the other team. I would opt to be the fucking villain and watch this dude sulk on the bench rather than have more national media trying to shit on us if Taylor ends up producing well somewhere else.

It's the only thing that makes sense unless Taylor just did a complete heel turn like when Andre the Giant joined the Heenan family back in the day. Wouldn't that make Leonard a heel too, since they have the same manager? Hmm.

If Tuesday comes and there's still no deal, waive him. Just get him out of here.

Bobby "the Brain" Heenan.......classic!:D

Put him on the "NFI" list for the year, with no pay, shoving this year's contract to next year. Then if he wants to honor his contract let him play before tagging him a year later. Play hard ball with him. :cool:

They're in position to lock him up for years and I don't see why they wouldn't opt for that... anything less than a stupid trade package would upset me and is probably impossible anyway. Use the pressure of "play for us or don't play."

Three more seasons before keeping him (unsigned) is stupid financially.

Why? How does this make the team better? You want to be in the headlines for years as his case runs through the courts (he would sue, as would you or me)? This can work out to where we either get assets or JT himself. Patience and don’t do anything that doesn’t make this team better on the field.

So his agent is a friend of the Miami coach. He’s also a big “all things miami” guy. And now JT says he only wants to go to Miami and doesn’t want to go to the Bears. Also says he will take less money to go to Miami. Whole things stinks as being planned from the beginning.

If it is pre-arranged, GREAT- fucking stand on that 1st or tell him and Miami he's getting NFI and his career is FUCKED! Get the pick we want in return, fucking go to Miami. Send him on the next plane and let him be Victor v2.0.

Victor fucked himself too out of like 100 million I saw when it was all said and done between the contract he could of had and the self sabotage he committed.

NFI sounds great and all, but I doubt it is just as simple as that, considering he had been dealing with a legit ankle injury.

I think by not going NFI, the Colts are avoiding making the situation even worse. I think they actually want Taylor back, but want him healthy first.
