He was definitely sincere in his insincerity.   I kinda feel like that press conference came from a Colts demand. Told him this is going to be a distraction every week if you don't go talk n

Bad contract in my opinion, he isn’t worth 10+ million

I am going to say this with sarcasm, just having fun here:

 

Hey Miami, here is your key to the golden ticket. A HR hitting RB, top tier RB in the league if you want to win the East and a shot at a SB run. Give us Hunt and a 1st round pick in 2024 and he's yours. Come on Miami, you know you want him chuckling homer simpson GIF

Holder has gone silent on the entire JT saga. The fact that he still is MIA over personal issues is strange. Is Zach Moss going to be ready for opening Day? Let’s sign Jordan Wilkins, great down field runner off of RPO’s. 

I feel like every post I've seen from you recently is just roasting Holder about the JT stuff. We get it.

 

No idea on Moss and Wilkins recently signed with the Browns.

Still thinking JT is the one who’s lied about the injuries. 

 

 I would guess his ankle would pass a physical, and if it were an important game he would be out there. But there is a good probability he is still having some discomfort and would prefer waiting until it was as good as it is likely to get. And wisely walk onto the field with as much Fully Guaranteed $$$ as the market will bear. A Very Wise plan.

I think if a trade happens, Ballard would want picks. What would we get is a mystery? I would want them in 2024, at least 2. A 2nd and 3rd would be nice or just a 1st. Any suggestions on what we could get for him? I am just throwing stuff out there. 

I think Miami is the real front runner out of all of the teams being mentioned.  I think we could get a conditional 2nd for him and a player from Miami.  That’s how bad I think they want him.  I think his agent is trying hard for Miami.  JT is in Miami for personal reasons.  Coincidence?  Maybe.  Maybe something is in the works.  He needs to pass that physical though.   I think Miami views him as their missing piece and I have a feeling they are going to pull off the blockbuster trade and get him.

I hope they give up a good return to us for JT so we can be done and over with all this. Then go out and sign Hunt or another good young RB who gets cut.

My first choice is to get a deal done that both parties can be happy with

JT is a great player

 

2nd Choice 

Miami's pick in round 2, next year - Conditional on JTs performance (3rd if he misses)

Robert Hunt - RG (Ranked 17th best Guard)

 

If JT is done with the Colts ...... AND Miami wants him...... make it happen Cap'n

If there is any shred of truth to this, who could we get back from the Dolphins as similar compensation?

Edge - Jaelan Phillips and draft pick(s)

 

OG - Robert Hunt and draft pick(s)

 

Those are about the only two young potential "stars" that I could think of outside of Waddle who I know they would not part with.....

There is no way that Miami is trading a young DE for a  rb. People are forgetting this. Taylor may want a trade but do u  think he is going to another team unless there is a contract  in  place for let's say 15 million a year? I don't think so. What team is going to trade for Taylor under these circumstances. He wants a new contract whether it be from the Colts or the next team. To me, he is almost untradeable  given his  current demands. Like I have said. If he continues to mope, I cut him loose or just send him home for the year. The Colts cannot bend because they didn't acce with  Moore last year, and they can not make a trend of redoing contracts unless it is warranted.  An example of redoing a contract is Chris Jones for KC. He is under contract but he  has totally out played his current contract and he has tons of leverage. He is as important to the D as  Mahommes is to the O. He is in the Bosa and Parsons class in terms of talent. He is a game wrecker.

JT has no choice in the trade matter. Colts could send him wherever they want

Missing the point. They can send him any where they want, but he wants a new contract. The new team would have to redo his contract. Taylor wants out of Indy cause he wants more money. Star rbs this year couldn't get squat from their present teams so how is Taylor so special that he would get traded and then a new contract that he would be happy with? Irsay said he isn't trading him. If the Colts trade him, he looks likes a clown. Irsays clown show was 2022 and I am sure he doesn't want to keep that story line going.

 No, you’re missing my point.  they could trade him without the new team doing a new contract. Technically. 
 

In the end, I still think they put him on IR for the season. Let him heal

How do the Colts trade him to say the Bills? Do u think Taylor is going to go to the Bills under the same contract? U think he agrees to play for the Bills for 4 million and a free agent next year? I don't and that is why he is  of untradeable. Irsay said he is going no where and I believe him so it's all mute

It’s hard to see the Colts asking for a first when they won’t even pay the guy they’re now trying to trade.   Now if the Colts didn’t ask for it, but Miami offered that might be a different story.   But I think it would be a long shot.

What GM would give up a first round pick for an injured player with a problematic agent?  Unless said player isn’t “really” injured any longer.

Steichen just said Taylor will be back tomorrow but doesn’t know if he will practice.

Yes, but the real news is JT’s hoodie is being traded to Miami for a pair of cleats to replace the ones our rookie QB foolishly gave away last week.

Honestly, I don’t.   I was only responding to a hypothetical offered up by another poster.   
 

But, to me, the only way the Colts will get more than they ask for is if a team believes it’s a Super Bowl quality team WITH Taylor and offers to overpay in order to acquire him.   Otherwise, I don’t see any team overpaying for him.

Agreed.  He would have to take, and pass, said team’s physical…

Something the media has missed with Taylor is no one has asked why after all these months is Taylor not healthy. What was the setback ect? 

He had an ankle injury right? I think the problem was he didn’t have enough in his “stocking” to fix the ankle problem.  :cash:

Didn’t even think of this when I posted above Taylor will be traveling with the team. This was actually a good question by the media. Players who are rehabbing generally do not travel when the team goes on the road. So makes you go hmm.


Maybe it’s a one way trip and we’re trading him to Philly 🤣

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Solid84 · Posted

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.
