The Colts get what they want or the guy plays for us. Much rather have a one at this point.

Interesting discussion just now on ESPN radio about how both sides have done incredible damage to one another and how there may be no way for this to go other than him having to suit up for the Colts and attempt to have a record breaking season in an attempt to illustrate to a future suitor that he can continue to be an All Pro WR in the NFL for them.
There's a lot of logic to this discussion.
Taylor's bad move: Taylor is hurt and so much so he remains on PUP (talking heads inferred [they can't in good faith just say it is BS] that's just his BS way of not taking any risk while he tries to get a new deal). That puts any potential team interested in a bad position because even if you think it is ALL BS, the minute you give up significant assets to get him only to find out he isn't capable of returning to form, as a GM, you're gonna get fired.
Colts bad move: Irsay playing his cards publicly in stating the he just isn't that valuable to the organization. So how can you now expect to demand this high draft pick for a player you've already said to the other 31 teams, isn't really that good?
Talking head's speculation- the offers are a 3rd and 4th where as Colts are probably saying they want a 1st looking to get a 2nd and no one is gonna give it. He suits up for Colts in a prove it situation.
They of course then went on to comment about how many times history has shown us- don't so anything in camp, try to just come out cold and end up pulling a hammy or a groin and having an awful season in return.
Crazy but dude could easily be in a position a year from now where he could be a FA and the market is vet min.
Insane shit really...
