Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

[djphinfan]

might not take high picks but it'll cost a lot of money

The market dictates the terms

Buy low sell high is the market

 

[AquaHawk]

Colts reported roster needs: CB, LB, G

If Miami is truly interested in accepting the long-term financial impacts, they have tradable players in those positional groups to make an interesting offer.

A pure hypothetical is swapping R2.24 for R3.24, AVG, Jeff Wilson, and Nik Needham.

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

but of course we don’t have a 3rd round pick to trade

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 $$$.

Panthers shoukd be interested

I understand but not sure what your point is?

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

Miami can’t can’t keep everyone. Miami has this year and next year to make a run before the roster explodes with massive contracts and people leaving to get paid. The depth gets worse and worse when you trade all the picks for top players and nothing to fill out the roster with.

Finally, I will reveal my Full disclosure here: Back in 2020, a buddy of mine asked me what I would do with our three first round picks. I told him before the draft started that I would pick Herbert at 5, trade a 3rd round pick to Tampa Bay and move up from 18 to 10 and pick Wirfs. And finally, with the 30th pick at the time, select Jonathan Taylor to finish out the first round.
Now, I am happy with Tua, but the durability issues pushed me towards Herbert as well as the physical attributes.

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?

Of course I'm trying to be humorous. Iggy has zero trade value.

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

but of course we don’t have a 3rd round pick to trade

Yeah. But overall im just saying for the colts to expect so much from
Anyone that trades for him not just Miami. I guess start high to get the best deal.

Not GINK.

But if it gets us Taylor, would be willing.

And when Tua wins multiple SBs while Herbert chokes we'll be happy you weren't the GM.

So we passed over Taylor for Igbo and now they want to pay top dollar for him? Hard pass for me.

I don't know how many times I have to correct guys that make this statement but it is wrong. The Dolphins did not pass on Taylor for Igbinoghene. The Dolphins had a chance to draft Taylor in the second round and passed on him for Robert Hunt. Taylor was then taken two picks later by the Colts.

My point is the market is at an all time low, now Is the time to buy

Win win haha

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

I believe you could swing a trade for less compensation than many think.

That still leaves you with a player that doesn't want to play on his current contract and, from what I've read/heard, wants a top contract with high guarantees (think McCafferty+).

Granted, he is a top RB, but the way the market has collapsed, I doubt anyone is going to do that.
