Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

I haven't seen anything speculated that would lead to adding Taylor making us a worse team. Sure, if we traded Hill, Waddle and X for Taylor, we'd be worse off, but something like that obviously isn't happening. Trading picks and\or players like Ogbah or any of our RB's undoubtedly makes us a better team.

That may be true too, but the DT market is still what it is. Teams value DTs and the Colts would walk away with a **** eating grin if they bagged Wilkins for Taylor. I'm not saying we couldn't survive without Wilkins, but it would be a significant loss. And if we let him go to pay Taylor? Well...that would confirm we are a poorly managed organization.

Wilkins and Taylor will be teammates in 2023.

Also really interesting seeing the Colts forums. So many of them are saying Robert Hunt and a 2nd/3rd for Taylor which is just laughable. They are setting themselves up for some extreme disappointment.

True, he doesn't get the sacks, but off the top of my head, wasn't he a Top 3 DT in run stopping last year? Wilkins makes a huge impact despite the lack of measurable stats. He's one of those "you don't know what you got until it's gone" kind of guys. But I do agree, 6-10 range is fair and I think that's what he'll get.

Wilkins led all defensive linemen in tackles last year. He is a great DT and people who don’t recognize how much he means to the Dolphins defense obviously doesn’t understand the game of football. Personally I would much rather they resign Wilkins than trade for Taylor.

It would be great if they can figure out a way to resign Wilkins and trade for Taylor but if they only have the money to pay for one of them, my votes for Wilkins.

I think your ignoring the desperation factor.

Commanders, Giants, Titans (Simmons is worth it anyway) have no choice but to pay those DT’s in order to compete with their current squads. None of those teams have high impact offenses or elite QBs (sorry RT17).

Eagles had to let Javon Hargrave walk despite his epic season.

Where as the Niners need Hargrave to help counter the lack of QB talent.

that would be outrageous, WIlkens before Hunt and that would be simply disgusting in itself but our best olineman laughable

You're entitled to your opinion, but spare us the "Dont understand the game of football" nonsense.
