The position will evolve. Either they become dual threat players. Or they will likely be eliminated in favor of multiple receiver looks and the QB becoming the running threat.

The Colts have given JT till Tuesday to find a trade partner. The deadline for declaring the pup roster is coming. If he is still injured he will go on pup and miss the first four weeks.

6 teams have called enquiring. 2 teams have offered trades.

I have a feeling he will get the trade, but I also think he has made a huge mistake!

The Dolphins, Bills and Bears are what seem to be getting kicked around a lot with a little bit of Philly being tossed in. He would make a great component for all 3 / 4 of those offenses. Hopefully there is truth that all of them have been nibbling allowing us to push the return higher from the ultimate suitor. If someone were to give up a 1st (Phins and Bills are both clearly in a need to win it all this year mode- ala Rams model), then fuck it take it.

There's a lot of prognosticators saying we are a bottom 5-8 team this year even with him. Go 100% youth, grow through the valleys and emerge as an extremely young powerhouse with a nice 5-7 year window to do big shit.

I'm pretty sure the cutdown to 53 has to be done by Tuesday.

Hope they get at least a 2nd for him.

And I’ll be very interested in seeing what his new team does contract wise.

I suspect it’s no longer about the contract for JT. IE, it’s personal at this point.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him go somewhere else and play out his contract. Then hit free agency next season.

Can these handsomely paid team doctors not make a diagnosis that holds weight in this regard?

I would say a second is minimum. I bet they are getting low ball offers right now.

Ha, I just listened to that a few minutes ago on the way home. I understand the concept he's talking about, but I still wonder...

Does that only work for a total holdout? Like if JT suited up for one single practice, could he "pull a hammy" or "tweak his back" in the first two minutes and now he's playing chess, too? Because now it can't be NFI, right?

According to him I guess so. That would be pretty bad. Not sure how that might affect his rep or if ppl care about that.
