Sounds more and more like Taylor’s camp trying to put pressure on Miami to get them to panic and up their offer to something the Colts will take.

[BlackTiger]

I think not trading him could be the worst case for us.

 

Then we get holdouts, sitting out, fake injuries, real injuries/ more trade demands... this could be a nightmare for the team

 

He may refuse to play on the tag next year until hes traded.

Oh yeah. If I was an agent, I would be telling other GM's/teams I have 5 others that want my player.

Me too.  Not complaining just saying what I think is going on.

 

now with that said watch the lions trade the Colts six 1st round picks for Taylor.  Yes I am joking.

[richard pallo]

I won’t be surprised if the Bills came in at the 11th hour and acquired him.  They traded a 1st for Diggs and paid him.  If they are serious about taking the running load away from Allen JT would be the perfect guy to take over.  He would be a great asset in foul weather home games.

I am pretty sure the Colts are wanting at least 1st round pick in 2024 from someone. I have no facts to back that up but when Irsay said 3 weeks ago we aren't trading him, I took that as, we aren't trading him unless we get a great deal.

JT would be a perfect fit in Buffalo. To be able to have a dominant run game in bad weather games is huge. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Buffalo also has 9 picks in 2024. They do have a 1st and 2nd round pick.

Yup and he would help separate them from challengers Miami and NY.  Nothing like one upping a division rival.

If they were to trade him that would make Irsay look like he has no credibility on what he says.

I think they would enter the Chiefs, Bengals, and Ravens level if they get JT. I am high on the Ravens this year. Without a legit run game, the Jets could very well win that division.

Yes and no. If JT is really unhappy and we get a great deal, there is that. In the end, Irsay probably doesn't want to trade him so I don't think he is lying about that.

Right now the bills are at negative 40 million in cap space next year.  Id be surprised if they want to trade a first and work that much cap magic for him

We can spin it anyway we want, but he did say they are not trading him. He may not want to so don’t. Stick it to him and make Taylor grow up and be a man instead of acting like a kid.

I was just looking at their cap situation and it definitely doesn't look like a team able to give JT the contract he wants.

For a 1 year run at a SB, teams will do many things. Rams were negative 41 million in cap space (sarcasm) and still was able to garner an all-star team. They are paying the price now but they got a SB win out of it. Bills fans of all fans are dying for a SB win with their history. They have a good team but need more to win it all.

Last year they drafted James Cook in the 2nd round. They actually have a solid RB room with him, Damien Harris, and Hines (currently injured).

They could make the salary work but we are asking for a lot in a trade too.  If I were them id want him but probably wouldnt do what it would take to get him

Most outside of Indianapolis already have him painted like that. I doubt he cares what the media and rest of the country thinks of him.

I'm sure JT would be a warm welcome to the Bills....after owning them a couple of years ago.

[masterlock]

If only there were a team that was a good fit for Taylor, could afford him, and didn't have to give up 1st round (or equivalent) compensation. Oh that's right...

I think that young RB that ran for that TD off the left side on us in the Bill preseason game is the Bills plan. I could be wrong but I think he is Dalvin Cooks brother. Or related

That is correct. That's Dalvin's little brother, James.

When the CEO of an organization says things people inside the organization listen. If what he says means next to nothing then all respect is lost and you have nothing.

He looked pretty good to me. I'd go with that plan if I were them. And he would make better sense than JT in their passing game.

I have been hearing at least the first 2 weeks of the season. Hamstrings are nothing to mess around with.

Robert Craft is a model citizen (not) and he won 6 SB's. What he did blows away what Irsay did in terms of being a good person.

Then I guess it's already nothing. Remember the time we said we'd keep Grigson... and Pagano... and Reich... 

 

CEOs change all the time.
