I don't think he gets traded until later in the season. 

Value could be higher or missed opportunity depending on how well or bad he plays. Always at risk of injuring that sensitive ankle. Be something he decides to hold out this season.

I don't think that's a fair statement at all.  Irsay didn't say anything poorly, and if an intelligent, thoughtful, and introspective person, like we are led to believe JT is.... Is the intended recipient, then Irsay did even less wrong.  

 

I get that it's hard to fathom for many, but Irsay is and has been, well regarded by people who matter in his industry.


I know he’s well-regarded within the league.  I regard him highly, too.  I have long praised Irsay as an owner.

 

I just don’t think his public comments have been helpful for the Colts here.  And some agents have shared the same opinion.

More conjecture from SI

2023 NFL Cutdown Day: What We’re Hearing Close to the Deadline:

 

• Jonathan Taylor’s situation should have at least some temporary finality (is that an oxymoron?) today, with the Colts planning to shut down trade talks after the 4 p.m. ET cutdown deadline.

So where does that leave everyone?

I think a fair scenario to project would be Indianapolis getting a second-round pick, plus a Day 3 pick (and a relatively high one) for Taylor, with Taylor landing a contract somewhere between $13 and $14 million per year, and about $40 million over the first three years. What’s trickier is finding a team willing to do it. Indy’s looking for a fair price for Taylor and, obviously, hasn’t found one they like yet.

That is strange how agents would blast him. He has had a great track record of re-signing his own players to huge contracts. Just recently see Leonard and Nelson. Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison as well. He paid Peyton for not even playing in 2011, he paid Luck in 2019 after he retired. 1st time he doesn't (Taylor) he gets blasted, That is pretty weak.

Regardless.. I traded Taylor to the Commanders for their 12th overall pick in Madden 

 

Have fun playing in FedEx field :spit:

Dude, you got ripped off. I trade him to the Panthers for their next THREE years or First rounders.

I just put him on the trade block. And it offered. Course he was at the time in the midst of a 3k yard rushing season on madden haha

They’ll go on the Maury Show and work it out

They weren’t blasting Irsay in general…just for inserting himself very publicly into a contract dispute.

 

Ballard would never, ever admit it publicly - and probably not even privately (at least while he’s still with the Colts).  But I’d be willing to bet my house that he secretly wished that Irsay would’ve stayed out of it, too.

 

His comments may or may not have hurt the situation.  But they clearly didn’t help.  And, again, I say that as a fan.

Dolphins clear up cap space with Cedrick Wilson move amid Jonathan Taylor trade rumors

 

...Wilson and the Dolphins have agreed on a restructured contract to keep the wide receiver in Miami, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The reworked terms open up space, which could help Miami agree to an extension with Taylor if they meet the Indianapolis Colts' asking price.

 

Since the Dolphins are at the deadline for making roster cuts (as is every NFL team), this move is not insignificant. They also moved on from veteran running back Myles Gaskin, though they still possess a litany of options with Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie De'Von Achane...

You really don't think Ballard would claim he has his hands tied at any point in negotiations?  Huh, guess we'll just have to disagree on that one.  Interesting.

 

No, I don't. I think Ballard would tell agents that he's not interested at a particular price, and move on. He has his beliefs and opinions about how to manage a roster, and hasn't hid them at all. I don't think he'd try to hide behind the idea that an owner is tying his hands.

 Irsay definitely used bad lingo regarding being remembered.

But he nipped talking heads trying to stir xxxx inside the house by taking all the responsibility.  I approve.

Regarding Luck, never said it did, I was just bringing up hindsight. The reason why I keep bringing up my response on this, most GM's would never trade up to 4 from 13 unless they knew a QB was a can't miss. If other GM's that needed a QB thought Herbert was a can't miss, they would have traded up to 4. Not 1 GM did that.

 

That's not true. GMs trade up for QBs all the time, and it's not because they think the player is a can't miss, it's because they believe in the player's traits and abilities. The Niners traded up from #12 to #3 to take Trey Lance, and they never suggested he was a can't miss prospect. 

 

For the Colts, we needed to deal ourselves into the game to draft a QB, and we didn't. Then we continued patchworking the position for two more years. And to some extent, the reason we've had drama every year is because we haven't had a QB.

Should’ve been the #1 priority the second Luck retired.

Are Dolphins’ recent moves hinting at Jonathan Taylor trade?

 

The Miami Dolphins are believed to be negotiating with the Indianapolis Colts for Jonathan Taylor. Miami’s recent moves seem like it’s preparing for the RB.

    • I think even though the sample size was small last season it gave people a false sense of where he is. But we also can’t ignore thst maybe the regression is just because of the lack of off season work. If it’s just the lack of offseason work it should correct itself fairly quickly. We should def him settle in by game 6 or 7.
    • 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.
