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.

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.

If healthy perhaps what asking; not a chance.

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 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...

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

    • It’s unfortunate when they just got their first win. If Lewis and paye can’t go we basically only have one DE. No rotation so Steelers will just wear this term down. I was do excited for this game now I am really mad. I was really looking forward to it. The offense might be able to make up for defense but not if Kelly and smith can go.
    • This is where quality of your coach is so important.  And I think Shane is a quality coach to handle this situation.  Also I agree he is doing it right.  It's ugly, but he is balancing a big investment at QB with his job security which is very tough.   Running QBs often reach that point where the staff decides they are never going to learn to win from the pocket, and it is then you see the scheme revert back to college type approach and general simplicity to allow them to translate to the field.  But to get to that point you need to at least give the QB the opportunity.  Because once they do reach that point the team will usually be looking for another QB.   The way you build a perennial winner is finding a QB who can give you an edge from the pocket.  Given that, mobility and off schedule instincts are an advantage and desired.  But the latter will never trump the former because if your QB needs to be in space to see the defense and make his throws then defenses will be able to shut him down in the playoffs.  QBs like that don't win 3 or 4 games in a row against the best defenses in the league, which is required to hoist a Lombardi.   I mean look at Allen.  He developed the ability to win from the pocket.  He has had good teams around him.  He is a dominant run threat.  And he still has come up short in the playoffs.  When there are guys like him and Mahomes with rosters around them, you aren't gonna get past them with a QB who can't do the job from the pocket.
    • I compared AR to Mike Vick recently but didn't get alot of reaction.   AR may never fix his accuracy issues like Vick who struggled with short and intermediate accuracy his entire career.    But Vick was a dynamic runner and could hit the deep bombs with just a flick of the wrist.   Vick resurrected a very sad Falcons franchise and I was a huge fan.   If AR became Vick 2.0 would Colts fans be happy ? I would be
    • Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.   Hopefully Smith and Lewis plays because that means more reps for Bryan and Freeland. 😭 
    • Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.
