I would not trade him, period. I mean, make me the amazing offer and we'll talk, but that's true of every player. And he's the least likely of our good players to bring back an amazing offer, so it is what it is.
Overall though, I'm not letting a player's nuclear threats strong-arm me into making a move. While I get JT's frustration, his side is being very impatient right now. And maybe that's strategic, but it wouldn't have the intended result if I were running the show.
As for the Chase Young scenario, Washington says no for sure. He might be on the outs, but he has more value around the league.
The back thing is a baffler Supe.
I was tracking with at least the reasonableness of the JT camp until that came out. Like you, I don't think it was a good strategy likely to yield the desired outcome, but the back thing, if he told them he hurt his back in the off season, that's a shocking level of incompetence by the JT team, and a just mystifying lack of critical thinking skills by the Harvard level philosopher.
His premises seem flawed to the nth degree. I guess the logic from there to here could be sound lol.

No offense but it doesn't surprise me that you heard something that coincides with your opinion and latched onto it. I don't think there's anything deficient with Taylor's skill set. And even if he was an elite pass catcher, I still don't think it would be smart to pay him like Kamara and McCaffrey.
I think if Taylor had a strong season in 2022, the Colts probably would have already made an offer to him. Don't know if he would have found the offer acceptable or not, but things would be different for sure. It's not all about having a new coach, although that's definitely a factor.
I disagree. Taylor would be a much much much hotter commodity if the league considered him a better pass catcher and protector.
I think that's obvious.

OK I’ve been operating on the basis that Jonathon Taylor is a Harvard caliber philosopher with kick adz reasoning and processing skills.
The back think uhh seriously ?

I too thought you wrote that you spoke to a source. That is why you have to use the Quote box and note where you found the quote. Otherwise, it is assumed to be you.
I knew. moose jaw lives in the great northern hinterlands. He can maybe get the inside track on moose season and sled dog racing. -

Who cares what other fan bases think? His fellow owners don't hate him. He says what they also think. Jerry Jones is in the same vein. It looks bad sometimes to the public, but his fellow owners agree.
The only thing Steichen is thinking is how to win ball games, and buy a huge house with all this money I just made
I think the other owners look at Jimmy as that little brother that will do anything to look cool in front of his big brother and his friends. But I do agree he’s a mouthpiece for the fraternity on occasion.Thats what id be focused on if I were Ss.

I wonder if there comes a point where teams won't consider players because of their agents?
Depends on what position they play. -

Doesn't matter. No one is going to one trade away assets for a RB and two willing to give the type of money JT wants.
no friggin way. Agreed.

Pittman’s public comments would leave anyone to think the Colts are not talking a new deal with him now. And that they MIGHT during the season, but it’s not certain. And Pitt has repeatedly said he’s fine with the current situation and that he expects it will eventually work out.
His approach is 180 degrees different than JT.
he’s a pass catcher which means he has way more leverage . He doesn’t need to build any artificially. -

I think you have to ask him if you can grow dreadlock mutton chops depending on ar or minshew starting. Now that may be the ultimate combo. Lol
Actually you might have just topped yourself.-

I get that, but it takes a quick Google search to debunk this false take.
Yeah, but what does it take for some fans to realize that there is a very contentious possibly irrevocably fractious relationship between the Colts and Taylor?I think one might be able to find that on the internets too?

Taylor’s talent is definitely worth a 1st and a good player.Sadly I’m not sure any team is gonna give us that in return.
Then he’s not worth a 1st rounder.

Welp... There it is Colts fans. JT saying he wants a trade puts the truth in all the tweets.
So, let's consider.
If it's true that the relationship is irreparably broken.
If he really doesn't want to be here.
Then, as a coach and as a GM I would have to consider telling JT to go home.
We're trying to build a new vibe, a new feeling, a new hope with this team. And we can't have a guy roaming the sidelines with his hoodie up and a black cloud raining down on him and whoever is near him, wherever he goes. It's detrimental.
If you don't want to be here, then don't be here.
In the meantime, an open piece of advice to JT:
You've probably played your last down in the NFL. If you're demanding a trade, and you're demanding money that nobody in the NFL is willing to pay a running back... If this is the hill you've decided to die on... Then nobody is going to trade for you. Nobody.
It looks like Saquan Barkeley was the wise one. Take the deal they're offering you. You're not going to get a better deal anywhere in the NFL.
But
hes injured.

He would come back in week 10 to get his accrued season. Would do the same thing in 24+25.
He’s injured now .
Unless a trade or Irsay signs him, I guess he stays injured
until week 10.

Don't blame JT for wanting more money. Blame him for how he's handled it
Yeah Leonard is paid but his agent has driven a wedge. Can see him trying to get Leonard to different team as well.
it would be great for the org to shake some of that contract loose

I’m sorry, but this is so dumb. I think JT got caught up in all of the RB hoopla and it’s stuck in his ear. He’s on his rookie contract still. This is too early, I was thinking he would have these talks at the end of the year. Cmon
Man JT has a high IQ and was a philosophy major, which means he has elite logic/reasoning skills.I doubt he’s emotional about this. If so he would have made a poor philosopher.

I haven't heard anything that says he is gonna hold out. Did I miss something?
I don’t think he will hold out if I had to bet but did you notice oh never mind.

Do you say the same when a team cuts a player without honoring the contract?
Technically cutting is within the contract so it is honoring it.
But this is the main reason that I don’t judge tactics used by players and agents . They don’t have much legal leverage other than bloviating and sitting.
we shouldn’t give long term big money to a RB. Bad business.

The only flashes I saw today were out of Kenny Moore. The rest weren’t so hot. Like I said I’m my recap, either our DBs suck bad or our WRs are studs now with a new head coach and QBs
Well we lost both starting corners from last year.
Even the rosiest of fans has to realize we are going to really struggle there.

Jonathan Taylor comments on his contract/Request trade (Merge)

Great post Doug. I love the Kelly bluebook thing. He is a unicorn. A limited skill set unicorn. He's hard to price and value and yes most of his value was in a 7-8 game span in the middle of one season.
