Colts are already limited on player signings based on location and market size. Ballard didn’t do anything to help or hurt that. Players will go where the money is at. There is more stories out there of guys he has paid than ones he hasn’t.

Jt acting like he is so unappreciated is also bad. Before the draft this year almost all colts news was positives about Taylor. They hyped him like he was the greatest ever. Hardest worker, awesome attitude, smart player and best character. I honestly think colts hyped him even more than his real value and now he thinks he’s being held hostage by them. Congratulations on crapping on a franchise with fans who would have loved him all the way to the hall of fame.

Listening to jmv and holder is sickening. You would swear they hate the colts. Whether Jt plays or not this teams is coming off the number 4 pick and not gonna be really great this year.

I don’t think they said they wouldn’t pay him. They just asked him to wait

Not even hope to fix this for rb’s anytime soon either. CBA is good till 2030

Three years would be enough. If he doesn’t play three years at his age he is absolutely done.

The big risk financially is this year and because his deal it’s not huge colts probably don’t care. Next year he gets tagged and either doesn’t sign and doesn’t get paid or signs and no shows but loses it all to fines.

I imagine coming off what they think is an injury they will make him practice a few weeks before considering him in game shape and ready to go. Probably definitely wait the full 21 days they are allowed

What I read earlier is max he can be suspended for conduct detrimental was 4 weeks with no pay and also allowed to be fined up to one game check.

After preseason and seeing how AR froze defenses in the run game I shocked Kareem Hunt isn’t blowing up the colts to play here.

That’s exactly why the team wanted a high pick and refused renegotiation. Ultimately Jt and his agent really hurt themselves and attempted this a year too early.

Even if they suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team they can only make him miss 4 games with no pay and fine a weeks salary. That puts him missing 8 games so he could still get his credited season.

Hopefully the team can maintain the level of energy seen in preseason. It was refreshing to see them having fun on the field.

It’s sad to see fans of all other teams ripping Irsay for this but to be honest I think almost all other teams would have handled it this way. I bet most owners are ecstatic seeing Jim stick to his guns

If suspended he gonna give up money this year as well. His career earnings at that point is pretty low after taxes. Hope he has a good backup plan

Jt going for the Antonio Brown level meltdown. Gonna torpedo himself out the league.

Sounds a lot like checkmate unless he is really willing to end his career.

They will likely tag him and he won’t come in next year on pup. So he will get fined and forfeit every check for each game missed. So really he will only make the money for this year and probably cost himself a 40m dollar contract if not more. Who you think is gonna pay a running back who has been out of the league for two years.

The 20 million a season now makes sense to me it’s to play for 4 this year 20 next and 20 after that so pretty much 3 year 45m. That’s also why he is saying he will take less from another team because he’s giving up the year at 4m in a contract with a new team

It’s sad that this whole dispute is probably over not wanting to play this year at 4 million. Because the tag season and the year after would net him at 25m for 25 and 26 season together.

Pittman is on same type of contract and looking at a big payday as well if you give Taylor money are you upset if Pittman turns around and asks for more or sits.

I know you have lots that hold out but I didn’t think many of them were still on rookie deals before they could even be franchised.

Not gonna be good for the league if you have teams giving into demands by players who are on rookie contracts. Won’t be long guys be holding out every year after a good year.

So why not just make the trade because he has to pass a physical to prove he’s healthy then hold him to his contract and available franchise tags

Would the dolphins have the same rights to franchise tag him if they trade for him?
