Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

[FinPhan54]

Now you believe me…..

 

[Ray R]

Wilson, Mostert, Wilson, and a 3rd and they can have Eich as well

Penny wise and pound foolish. - LOL

How do you figure? We would have to sign Taylor to an extension to keep him too.

Now, we could franchise Taylor for a whole lot less than CW, but he wouldn't be very happy about it.

Well I don't think Taylor is gonna be getting $20M+ which I suspect is what CW is asking.

Was not a fan in giving yet another salary, and more picks/ talent, but if it's not too insane, and both sides can work out a way to do it, where all sides are happy...



YES, I was and am a huge Jonathan Taylor fan.

 

[TFK]

Woooahhhhhhh. That's big time. He's a stud and only 24.

What are we talking about in terms of compensation for a player of his caliber?

Trade compensation is the least of our worries. It's the financials that are the bitch.

 

[Ray R]

49ers gave up a 2,3,4 and 5 for McCaffrey

And we should be equally stupid?
I don't think so.

Unless Miami can grow money out its ass, financially it's unrealistic, unless they are willing to let other players walk or start trading players away.

I don't think so.

They almost made the SB w Brock Purdy. If only we were that stupid

 

[Ray R]

No

Succinct, as always. - LOL

 

[zucca]

Colts should insist on Achane as part of the package.

True!

In 11 games 1200 yards total. That guy is a freak when healthy.

Not stupid, just lucky.
They had two Vet QB's who they paid some serious money for and a 7th round QB. Guess who "panned out". - LOL
It has happened before, with Brady, and no one realized it until after the fact.

The FH contributors who are pressing to make it happen will also be the ones agonizing about the Draft picks given up around April next year. While JT is talented and would be a good RB addition, my concern is how much we would have to give up in the trade deal. If $8.6M was considered too much to spend on Dalvin Cook, you know that Jonathan Taylor will probably cost a lot more (plus the Draft picks). My intuitive reaction is a definite no.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

No I want wilkins at club long term

This was my first thought as well. Of course, any fan of any team would want Taylor. He's fantastic.

But you've got to weigh the cost. Miami has some tough decisions looming. I would make sure to nail down a deal for Wilkins. What he means to the defense would be extremely hard to replace.

The Dolphins can win with this group of running backs IMO.
