[JColts72]

Some teams may start to pull back perhaps? Miami or Philly for the deal. Wednesday new post here if JT back with Colts.

I think his between the tackles ceiling is higher tho. By a good margin 

He does have 15 pounds or so on Hines...

I'm now firmly on the "this is primarily to establish JTs value.....in JTs and MMAlki WaWa's minds"

Will probably go down just before the game tonight.

[cdgacoltsfan]

I'm guessing like everybody else is but I think in the end,this will end up being Lamar part 2. Taylor will end up on the Colts with a hefty raise for this year. (Unless he's really injured which is an obvious facade)

JT about to be like LeBron

 

"This fall ill be taking my talents to south beach to play with the Miami Dolphins"

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Don’t know who this is or if true. Just passing  it along.

 

 

[richard pallo]

Watch the Bills swoop in out of nowhere and overtake the Dolphins and snatch him away at the altar.

[Myles]

I am liking Taylor less and less as time passes.

Is this a good DE? I see he was a second round pick.

Don't see ogbah being included in deal.

 

 

He is 29(will be 30 in November), counts for $15.1m in 2023, $15.8m in 2024, $16.9m in 2025.

 

Would cost us almost $10m more than Taylor this year.

 

Coming off a season where he had 1 sack in 9 games and missed 8 games  Never had more than 9 sacks.

If they're dumping salary on us, then should get more than a 2nd.

Lousy deal if true; has injury history; fit in well with Colts due to this and is 29. No thanks.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I just hope after all of this is done we get more clarification from Ballard what the heck happened here.

Incoming! Raise the shields!

Hopefully Colts say no to that offer.  If that is all we can get then better to just keep Taylor away from the team for a year and let him walk.

Irsay got crocked and said go ahead and trade him.

That's not the offer.

 

I see zero reason we would want to bring in. 30yr old DE who makes $15m a season.

It might have been Miami's initial offer.

Bringing him in makes no sense to me.

Yeah makes zero sense we aren’t bringing in an old/overpaid DE when that group is already full of young players that we want to get on the field.

Interest in Jonathan Taylor is lower than most would have expected

By

Mike Florio

 

...Maybe it’s just not happening.

Thirty-one teams. And only six called? And only two made offers?

It doesn’t bode well for the team and the player getting what they want.

Lol this is getting funny because I’ve also seen an article stating that interest is higher than expected

JT's agent is a keyboard warrior to make people believe there is interest lol

Emmanuel Ogbah?  He had a couple of seasons with 9 sacks.  Just how many starting RDE's are we gonna have?  They can't all start.

Not a great comparison for me. JT was hurt almost all year. Moss/Jackson couldn't do what Taylor did in 2021. We don't necessarily need them to, but there's clearly a difference between Moss/Jackson, and Taylor. 

[horseshoecrabs]

Seems like a trend. It would not be the Colts if we didn't have controversy. before the damn season even begins

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Well Taylor went to Philly but that doesn’t mean he went back to Indy.

 

 

[Superman]

The more it seems like Taylor and his agent are steering toward Miami, the more inclined I would be to shut this all down, tell Taylor 'no trade, play here or don't play,' be prepared to put him on IR, and still be prepared to tag him in 2024.

Sounds like a good plan to be at this point

 

[BlackTiger]

I said id take a second, conditional second would be enough for me

 

Imagine what would happen if we tried to tag him next year.  This would turn into more of a circus than it already is now

Now this makes more sense.  A conditional 2nd.

[Crunked]

Ill predict a 2nd rounder and conditional 5th.....or in Ballard Style a 3rd and a CB......Maybe we can get Rock Ya Sin back lol

[John Hammonds]

Is my memory failing me?  Or did JT's agent float the "Miami" word a couple/few weeks ago when this all started?

Starting to smell like a tampering situation.

And ask the league to do an investigation. Seize their communication and lets see if they can find something weird. Because there has definitely been something weird from the moment his agent started this %storm and started liking tweets about the Colts trading him to Miami before the trade request even being public.

Yep. They haven’t played nice and neither should the colts.

Yes, he did. He was liking like... a dozen tweets suggesting the Colts should trade him to Miami. The interesting thing was... he was liking ONLY Miami tweets and none of the other fanbases' desires for their team to trade for Taylor.
