Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

[EPBro]

if we had traded for JT then there's no way we'd have drafted any RB imo

Moot point cause we wouldn't have the option. Those picks would have been part of the package most likely.

Something to note

Running backs market has dropped like a bad day at the stock market

So essentially you could negotiate a bargain on the player relatively speaking

This isn’t a Todd Gurley situation

 

[Mach2]

Depends on if we include Iggy or not

I guess you are trying to be humorous, but we have bigger contract issues than Iggy. Then there's the fact that he's one of the top 4 healthy corners on the roster at this point.

Did you think through the ramifications?

 

[C l u t c H 385]

Keep in mind if we trade for him it'd mean they're admitting they made a mistake drafting achane......JT wants big money that we don’t have and we're already down our 3rd and 4th round picks

I dunno that I'd want to pay what it takes to get Taylor, but Taylor may not have been available when we drafted Achane.

I think Colts are proving a point to Jonathan Taylor. That he will not have the trade interest he thinks he will have and and will not get the enormous amount of money he is looking for as well. I just hate investing multiple assets for a RB AND Paying him a large contract. I'm sure that's what he wants, not about just being traded but wants that $$$.

I would do it also…but he wants to get paid. And we don’t have much money left to pay him considering the other players that need to get paid.

There’s always a way to make the money work. I just don’t think there’s enough productivity to go around to warrant the type of money he’d command.

Would this move ruin any chance of signing Christian Wilkins to a huge contract extension?

No, but I think It would signal the end of Seiler and/or Connor Williams

 

[Fred Bear]

A few banged up ones.

I would love to see Taylor on the team but I'm not gonna get my hopes up like I did with Cook.

That’s what they’re hoping

Chris Grier would like to remind you he traded a 4th and a never will be TE (I can't even remember his name) for Jalen Ramsey.

How's that working out? Sorry, too soon.

 

[Danny]

that'd leave us with no 1st round pick for the 3rd year in a row while taking on yet another big contract....for the record, I wanted us to draft Taylor when he came out of college and it'd be great to have a RB like him......just don’t know how we make it work with the limited picks we have plus we're 32mill OVER the cap next year

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

A 3rd should be enough since he’s coming off injury AND is going to be FA. Colts acting like this is still 2021 lol

 

[ONole1]

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.

Yeah, the only way this deal would happen is if they have a new deal in place.
