[Indyfan4life]

What a weird timeline we’re in. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

A back injury lol.

The next 4 seasons?

 

How do you figure that?    Sorry, I’m confused….

Probably should let him explain but this season would be 1 of the 4 w/o playing.

 

Then last year of rookie deal next year followed by (2) FranTags

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lol

If he really does have a back injury makes the demands for money even funnier.

So if he’s in NFI for 6 games, his contract pauses. Meaning instead of being a free agent after the 2023 season, he wouldn’t be a free agent until after the 2024 season. Which means we could then tag him for the 2025 season, and the 2026 season . 2023 would be the 1/4

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts are basically saying quit faking a injury and get out there or you won’t get paid. Lol

[IndySouthsider]

Taylor has played his last game as a Colt. With that said, I support the team in making an example of this nonsense.

 

Irsay’s weird “if we die” tweet makes perfect sense now. Taylor feels entitled and Jim is saying no one is entitled.

Yeah he can’t come back to this team. We are also trying to build a culture with a young QB. This isn’t the example they want in the building.

That's not language approved. 

 

Put a warning label on that thing.

It's all good, it's pretty funny.

For colts to play hardball like this they have to be really ticked off how Taylor and his agent have handled this.

 

Some have mentioned teammates might not like how colts have handled this but I bet they don’t like how Taylor has handled  it even more.

It also means they want him to play this year.

[Hoosier Kriegs]

If he is making up an injury due to contract dispute then colts definitely should label it non sports related to stop paying salary imo

If Taylor really hurt his back in training he would of been put on NFI instead of pup. So it’s clear this is a move to get him to play and if he don’t he doesn’t get paid.

Apparently for back injury sustained in Arizona while working on his own

Nah this is just them playing hard ball.

 

He gets paid on PUP not NFI

But the Colts can't just make something up like he sustained a personal injury to not pay him.  That would be fraud.  JT has to have actually had the injury that was corroborated by him and doctors, I would think.

 

Edit:  Okay.  I see that he reported to TC complaining of back pain.  So the Colts are now calling him out on it.

[Yoshinator]

I have no sympathy for Taylor anymore. He needs to either play or we put him on the NFI list and he doesn't get paid and he remains under contract. Enough of this garbage and distractions. Do what needs to be done Ballard!

Sounds like he came in complaining about it.

 

They definitely aren't going to make something up.

 

We're probably trying to be nice to start camp.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

At this point I don’t even think I want him playing if he decides to practice. Not sure I want his attitude around this team.

There’s an unofficial code among NFL players.   Don’t begrudge another player for trying to get his money.   I assure you, the vast majority of players quietly support JT over the Colts even if they don’t say so publicly.  
 

Because if the Colts can do this to Taylor, one of the best and most popular players on the team, then they can do this to any player.   No player is safe.

I get that, but that's really not helping the situation

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There is really only one way this can be solved between Taylor and the colts that leads to Taylor still playing here.  He would have to fire his agent and get a new one and he would have to apologize for the way he had handled this.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

these players thought they would be slick with unities so they could still get paid even though they were holding out.

This is big from sheftys story 

 

The team's medical staff had not previously discussed a back issue with Taylor and the Colts were unaware of the problem until Taylor reported on Tuesday, the source said.

There's some belief that the back issue stems from an old injury, but Taylor continues to complain of discomfort, according to the source.

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lmao

 

 

[strt182]

Bad look on Taylor IMHO. You signed a deal you play it out. You and your peers made an agreement in the CBA so you have to honor that.  Either somebody has put unrealistic salaries in JT's head, IE his agent or JT has let an ego get to him. 

 

I like JT cant blame him for wanting to get paid but at the same time the Colts are trying to pay him but need to know that he can be who he was after injury. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Holder said the decision should come this week about NFI. So they are basically giving him a week  to get out there and practice. 

[w87r]

 

 

[Tsarquise]

I would have thought JT would be the last player to do all of this. Did an imposter take his place?

I agree. Maybe this is Candid Camera or something. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This week is going to be interesting. Colts calling his bluff so will be practice. His agent can’t be that dumb to think they would get away with this.

Edge is still so close to Irsay too. Edge realized it’s a business and no player is bigger then anyone else.

Do what?  No team needs to overpay a player
