He may really get injured and not be faking.

 

Usually holdouts have a much higher probability of getting injured as they are out of shape.

That’s why I think they will ease him.  Let Moss be the featured back and let Taylor be the spell back and slowly reverse the roles.

Ian Rapoport just said Taylor is playing on the NFL Network.

 

I didn't hear what Rapoport said, but I don't think the Colts have even made a decision just yet.

They haven’t made it publicly but it doesn’t mean they haven’t made it privately.  Either way we don’t know and that’s all that really matters at this point.

They will let one of the running backs not named Moss go to make room for him.

Thinking Funk, Trey Sermon is more an nfl back then Jake from all appearances.

Tom P Said today there have been some talks towards a extension but doesn’t know of far.

My guess is Ballard probably told him look if you come back and play well we are going to pay you.  If he’s smart Ballard would have probably reminded him they let him shop his services and no one else was lining up to acquire him and pay him what he wants so the Colts believe in him while others don’t.

Taylor has been activated.

I hope fans temper expectation because he hasn’t played in almost a year.

I hope Tennessee doesn't have high expectations either ..

 

However it's gonna be exciting watching him and Anthony

Good to see.  But why wait until Week 5?

Wow. Guess everything was good to go at the presser!

I think we can start a new thread now.   Lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

No wonder his agent was happy.

[esmort]

Glad we paid a RBa big contract that will be too old to matter by the time we would really be playing for something.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

42 million seems cheap or am I wrong?

[esmort]

Can't believe the Colts caved.

[Btown_Colt]

Good for JT. Hopefully good for the Colts. Let’s move on!

[CardiacColts]

I’m fine with this. The bottom line is that I like our team more with him on it than without him.
 

Hopefully they front loaded most of the contract, so that he gets paid out while Richardson is still on a rookie deal.

 

This is a win-win. Now let’s go play some football.

It's only a 3 year contract

Lol that’s a very good point. So it’s really a moot point either way. I’m just happy that we can put this whole debacle behind us.

[Chrisaaron1023]

 

aye.. okay.. welp! AR and JT lets get it!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Guess 14 million seems reasonable and expected not cheap.

While setting the precedent for how future players should act ... terrible move.

I don't like it either. Should have at least tried Taylor in a few games to see how he looks first. Now regardless if he stinks, or gets hurt, he gets paid.

Not really.   It's been done for a very long time

[Indyfan4life]

Taylor+Moss+AR means the RPO is gonna be even better, and now defense will be forced to stack the box. This should open up PA and more deep shots. 
 

Damnit I’m excited.

Not frequently the dirty route JT and his agent took and then the organization draws a line in the sand only to cave...it is a bad move for future negotiations.

This is actually a pretty good deal given it’s after everyone here and his age.

Well, can’t say I agree with it. At least it’s only 3 years. 
 

Hopefully we can get back to football now.

Lol. A certain someone was already guaranteeing a win this sunday if JT has 10 carries. Good luck tempering people expectations. 

[smittywerb]

I like it, his contract ends just as ARs contract will be ending.  By that time we’ll know whether to resign him because his production is still good or let him walk because he’s declining.  
 

I’m not a cap expert but seems like the cap hit averages out to $14/year?  Which puts him below Alvin and CMC and $2mill above Henry, Chubb, and others.  I ain’t mad at that.  I said my highest id go with him was $13mill.  
 

Glad both sides came together.  This is what’s needed to help AR develop.  Now with another dynamic player added to our offense, I’d love for Shane to get JT some throws and work him in space.

[1959Colts]

So I guess, If he signed a three year contract. And prior to signing it, he was under contract for this year.

Then he really has been extended only for two years?
