Give Taylor something

If he's going to do that, just waive him. I just looked it up: he has fewer than 4 accrued seasons in his career. He can be waived, and then go through the waiver wire and see what he's worth to the other clubs. If he still doesn't like the money offered, then he's done in the NFL.

Problem with that is the Colts get nothing in return. Trade or preferably franchise tag.

Man F this dude, NFI and move the fuck on. Doesn't want to honor his contract, then we don't need to honor his "career". Shitcan him.

Taylor has less than zero leverage. If he sits out or pouts to the point where the Colts send him home, he’ll never get the money he wants from anyone. Hell, he won’t get what he’s slated to make this season.

He has to get healthy and get out there and play. Then let whatever happens happen.

If he is released someone will sign him. There’s always GM who thinks they can fix players.

The reality for the Colts is he cant get on the field due to an injury, until he gets the medical clearance, a new contract is out of the question. The Colts had to release Manning due to injury, its a cruel business.

Manning had to go due to the combination of the injury AND the cap implications if he was retained. No such conundrum with JT. Fucking NFI his ass today- stop playing his game.

He won’t get anywhere near the money or long term deal he wants if he’s released. Especially not being healthy.

And that was the point of all of this.

I’m thinking if he’s released right now he’d get somewhere in the neighborhood of what Dalvin Cook got. Maybe a little more.

Can't tag him until next year. He'd be paid more than now, but not as much as he wants. We'd still have the same problem. I doubt we'd get much of anything in a trade right now since nobody knows if he's injured or not. I'd rather get nothing in return and be rid of him then have a malcontent harming the dressing room all season. Like Mr. Session said above, we can find another running back. Just my 2¢ anyway.

You're right about all that. I don't think a trade happens because of what Ballard would want. But it would be something. Franchise tag hanging over JT's head is a huge advantage for the Colts.

They risk way less, relatively speaking, than JT. Seems to be a better to me to either keep him or get the better haul if someone wants to sign him.
