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

[John Hammonds]

I'll trade him for a 2 and a 5.

(Giggle)

[JColts72]

Realistically maybe a 3rd rounder. Good riddance as being around will just create a negative vibe the whole season.

Taylor's worth is a late 1st or multiple 2nd/3rd rounders. Now, no one is going to offer that, but still.

 

The Colts don't have to trade him. All the fans saying to trade him away to ignore the drama are being incredibly emotional about this. When the season starts, and he's still on PUP, we will all be focused on Richardson, not Taylor.

If healthy perhaps what asking; not a chance.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

All I know is this is a evaluation year so I am not even that mad if he gets traded. We will find another great back next year.

 

I just want to know how it got to this point. Something weird had to go down for Taylor to start acting like this.

He didn’t get his Campbell’s soup.

Goes to show that Irsay bravo talk about not trading is his usual mush babble talk.

Hopefully this turns into a Lamar Jackson thing and he comes back but it isn’t looking good.

If he's not healthy, no sane team will be trading for him any value that the Colts would be interested in. That's why this whole situation is very interesting.

Maybe it's just as simple as Taylor wanting to play for a contender now...Doesn't want to participate in the growing pains of AR.

 

Maybe he's just using money as an excuse to get out.

Good for them. Lets see if anyone bites...  2nd and 3d-4th is about what I expect. Maybe Achane and 2nd would be good. 

 

Achane got injured in the pre-season so it might be additional factor to the Dolphins wanting to trade for Taylor and the injury is still not serious enough to dissuade the Colts I guess... (listed week-to-week)

I’m tired of hearing the negativity around this dude. Poof. Be gone.

If they haven't yet, it's time to replace the Lucas Oil picture.

I don’t think you can do NBA style sign and trades in the NFL.  @Superman do you know about that?  You are the contract guru around here.  Can you do a deal a 3 party sign and trade in this league?

 

Never seen a three team trade in the NFL... You can do a sign and trade, it's a point of negotiation. What usually happens is the two teams agree to trade compensation, then the new team negotiates a contract, and the trade is official once the player passes a physical. Speaking of...

 

21 minutes ago, Nickster said:

You can’t be traded on the MLB DL.  Can you be traded on the PuP?

 

Technically, the trade isn't official unless the player can pass a physical. And once he passes a physical, he can't go back on PUP. It could work in the offseason, but once camp starts, no sir. So if Taylor were traded, he'd have to somehow find good health again, I guess.

[TaylorStillTruckedYou]

Over this whole situation…Can’t wait to move on from it

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Anyone still want to say JT is actually still hurt lol.

1st round pick ??

 

[Lifetime Colt]

Colts put it out there they want a 1st and/or, combination or similar, just posturing, depending on if an offer comes from a team like the Cardinals or a contender. Taylor should be worth a high 2nd, and a 3-4 round pick.  Other option is a starter, and lower pick4-5 round, hoping for OL starter

 

[Indyfan4life]

Taylor and his agent are gonna tell 31 other teams they want 16M a year, and 32 teams are gonna laugh at them. 

[FanFromtheWasteland]

I see him as another Marshall Faulk. Any excuse to not play here. Then those same excuses won't apply wherever he winds up. Get rid of him now

[Yoshinator]

I would personally trade Taylor for a 2nd and Hunt. Fill the RG spot and fix the O-Line.

[bestQBever]

I'd do JT for Mostert and a 2nd.

A - No owner or coach is EVER going to say “yeah we want to trade this guy.”

 

B - It should have been expected with the new way teams are practicing. Why trot AR out there with a line made up of 2nd/3rd/PS guys and risk him getting injured for a meaningless game? 
 

Use some freaking common sense. 

Your not using any common sense I was just saying they should have told us he wasn’t playing is all I saying read before you make terrible comments. 

[stitches]

 

They also signed Conner, but Taylor is a different level of player. Maybe they would like a Jones-Taylor swap +/- some picks? 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If we do trade him maybe we could get a good young player in return.

Unless he just wants our and that was his way of forcing a trade.

The Cardinals don't have much for a backup to Connor besides Keontay Ingram. A Connor/Taylor backfield would be really good.

I can't fault him for aiming high, but........

Not necessarily correct.  Giving him permission to "seek a trade" isn't the same as trading him.  He'll see that the market isn't what he thinks it ought be.  Possibly just teaching him a lesson in reality?

Yeah, I hope your right and I think you are and how can you trade someone who claiming injury.

I’m thinking Dolphins will set JT trade market with whatever package they offer.   Not sure why the Dolphins do not run with who they already have, but here we are…They seem to be pushing for a SB run before Tyreek Hill retires.  JT would for sure make that offense even more scary

Something like this may be the final deal.

[BlackTiger]

If hes traded its probably for picks or just one pick.  It wouldnt be smart to give up a starter on the oline for an expiring rb seeking too much money 

 

Too bad its not madden or fantasy, hed be worth a lot then

[John Hammonds]

If I were to make a half-baked uneducated guess, I would say the most probable landing spots would be Miami (where the rumors already have him going) and Chicago (who have a head coach who knows him, and have two 1st round picks next year.)

My not using any common sense? Oh. You mean “you’re.” Sorry.

 

They shouldn’t HAVE to announce that their rookie QB won’t be playing behind a line made out of tissue paper in a meaningless preseason game AFTER they said he had two great days of practice against them. Is this your first preseason game? I’ve been to a few, and I don’t recall them ever announcing that Peyton or Andrew weren’t playing. I didn’t get upset and start ranting online about it. 
 

Sorry you think I made “terrible” comments, but you’re crying about spilled milk.

The colts, bills and rams pulled off a three team trade previously…..1987 I believe
