Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

[superphin]

Yup, this is the conundrum we have.

Our running back unit is very good at this point.

We were 25th in rushing last year and 19th in yards per attempt. Who have we added to make this into a very good unit?

We were also 31st in attempts.

Which teams would pursue a Jonathan Taylor trade?

With the Colts giving running back Jonathan Taylor permission to shop himself via trade, the challenge becomes finding a potential destination.

I don't think there are a lot of options out there for Taylor.

Here’s who we have.
2 oft injured RBs, Mostert and Wilson aged 31 and 26
2 bottom level FAs, Gaskins, Ahmed
1 UDFA from BYU
1 rookie, who btw is hurt
Sorry folks but that’s NOT a dynamic RB room.

25 th in rushing is totally dependent upon relative reps

Our overall YPC was 19th you sure?

We could have. Probably would have won a couple more games in 2020 and not be in position to draft Waddle. Won a few extra games in 2021. Flores retains his job, and we don’t get McDaniel. Tyreek doesn’t see the appeal with Miamis offense, and joins the Jets instead.

Or we could have all of that, and get Taylor now to add to an offense that’s ready to compete for a Super Bowl.

You know you've been a Dolphins fan for too long when you go to lengths like this to justify stupidity.

Way to double down by endorsing Taylor ... a back we don't need and can't afford.

You, my friend, have reached Dolphins Enlightenment. Your reward is making bad decisions and excuses forever.

This is THE trade that we need to make happen. This is not Dalvin Cook on the end of his prime, this is the best RB in football.

 

[GRYPHONK]

See, again, MM shows his genius.

Indy needs a CB.

Iggy has just recently started to look solid. MM drew up those dang pick 6's to raise Iggys stock.

Iggy/ Achane and a 3rd for Taylor.

That's my offer

 

[Fintastic2124]

Am I seeing this right? He's asking for $16 mil per and the Colts want a first rounder?

Yes according to pro football reference 19th in yard per attempt.

Looks that way, which is why they'll never get a 1st.

Also, Taylor will never see 16 per.

My guess is he settles for 12 per, but that's just me

 

[DolphinDaddy]

Lol we are not trading Achane. That’s asinine.

 

[djphinfan]

Yes according to pro football reference 19th in yard per attempt.

Hmm ok

2nd year in system improvement from the Oline ??

 

[TONYS]

Jeff Wilson, Cedrick Wilson, and two mid round picks is what I saw with Miami paying taylor 10 million this year.

While I'm not like that guy claiming YPC is a worthless stat for a RB, I believe when it comes to a team stat, it's misleading.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of teams with a high YPC have a QB that runs a lot.
