Win the Super Bowl, then decide who to pay.
Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

If you're telling me we are going to be in cap purgatory for this...
I say GREAT. Going all in for the SB this year maybe next.
Even if Miami fails, and cap hell happens
Miami is still moving forward with Tau/ Waddle/ Taylor/ Holland/Kohou/ Phillips?
I will be ok with that lol
This is basically correct. We need to worry less about how we’re going to keep together our juggernaut team in the future and more about winning a playoff game or two for the first time since Bill Clinton was President.
Everyone is assuming we’ll actually want to keep this team together. Build the best team possible and have some success first. Then worry about how to keep the important pieces together under the cap.
We're not going to be in cap purgatory. 2024 is a little tight but 2025, 2026, 2027 = we need players.
Problem is all of our players are good/great. With a few exceptions.
The JAG's will be let go next year. The credit will roll over. 2024 will be tight but manageable.
Oh I agree 100%.

Would signing Taylor have the same impact on us as when we signed Ricky? - Damn, I loved having that guy on our team!

yeah I think so, he's a multi threat with speed, power and agility. and works very well in this system
Gotta keep in mind that Cleveland also has the league's preeminent OL, not that Indy doesn't have some quality OL themselves.
I don't think anyone can rival what Cleveland has going on up front, for now anyway. They'll likely lose Wyatt Teller and Jack Conklin (along with Amari Cooper) at some point between now and March.
If they struggle out of the gate, I expect those two guys to be on the trade block. Joel Bitinio just restructured his contract so it looks like he's locked in for 2023 and 2024 at the very least.
Speaking of Chubb though, he could also find himself on the trade block soon as well.
Its crazy, the Browns have the most amount of cap space ($34M) as of today, for 2023, with the recent restructures of Bitinio and David Njoku but they are by far the most over next years cap ($85M). Clearly they'll be using as much of that $34M as a rollover credit as possible. Still, they have work to do. And that likely means a restructure and another up front payment to Watson.

It would have a bigger impact as realistically Jay Fiedler wasn't going to win a playoff game on the road, let alone 2 and a Super Bowl.
Tua can beat anyone right now, with the team he has. Adding Johnathon Taylor gives us the potential to annihilate any team......ANY team. In the U.S. or in Germany.

Taylor would crush here. Our run blocking was ranked #7 last year by PFF. Not only that, can you imagine the shots down the field with defenses playing up in the box agaisnt him? Or vice versa, a soft box and him breaking loose up the middle. The offense would be one of the hardest to defend in the league adding him to our personnel.
