Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded
- Thread starter cuzinvinny
- Start date
Yeah, he's still trying to claim that "phantom back injury" is possibly true.
Even though Taylor completely trashed that notion and Irsay immediately backed off.
The irony considering he's claiming others of making stuff up
But hey, you never know
We already have a large thread on the Taylor subjectTaylor, Jacobs want money close to top of market value. McCaffery makes 14 million a year. History shows paying a RB that much money is not the way to win a Superbowl.

So you think the Colts will keep JT on the PUP list with a fake injury they made up? Just trying to understand.
If the injury is real it’s likely not football related at this point. So he would be moved to NFI. If it is real then it’s his ankle from last year that should be well healed now. A team that pays him long term would be a fool to do so before he sets foot back on the field. Which of course is parts of the Colts stance. If you think he will fake an ankle injury all year to get credit then it would likely go to arbitration and either outcome damages JTs ability to demand a large contract. He’s either injured or malingering.

He reportedly wants 18/mil. That is nuts. There is no way I am giving a RB that kind of money,I'll take Taylor everyday and anyday to make this team better.
“Injuries sustained while a player is working out ‘on his own’ in a location other than an NFL facility are considered ‘Non-Football Injuries’ and are outside the scope of a typical skill, injury and cap guarantee,” the memo also said. “Such injuries are also not covered by the protections found in paragraph 9 of the NFL Player Contract, meaning that clubs have no contractual obligation to provide salary continuation during the year in which the injury was sustained.”
No, they will not keep him on PUP.for the fake back injury Irsay made up.
He is already on PUP for his ankle injury. He needs to be taken off PUP. There will be no arbitration. The Colts will have to prove Taylor is faking still being hurt.
Again, Irsay screwed this up by threatening the NFI with the back injury claim. Trust me, the NFL and players took notice of that threat.
Good luck to Irsay trying to fight Taylor's ankle Injury, which was a real I jury landing him on PUP.
Who's reporting he wants 18 million?
Ok, so you have Pierre Thomas for 2009 when Reggie Bush was making 10.5M. You have Percy Harvin instead Lynch. You only have base salary and not bonuses included. Ray Rice made 5 million in 2012 $2m base and $3m prorated bonus. I'm not going to check each one but your chart is crap and full of errors on the few that I fact-checked. Shouldn't the chart list the highest-paid HB on the team and not just base salary? Seems disingenuous.Taylor, Jacobs want money close to top of market value. McCaffery makes 14 million a year.

And you left out the parts differentiating between a football and a non football related injury. That’s the point - if JT is legit still injured and it’s an ankle injury that should have been healed, then yes he would get credit for PUP. So are the Colts idiots for holding off on extending him early if he has a lingering injury that won’t heal?
If he’s injured and it’s his back or anything else then it’s most likely not football related and no he would not get credit unless he is available for 6 games.teams do interviews and medical exams at end of season. They know what was football related.
If he is faking his injury then he has to fake an ankle injury and this will likely be going to arbitration. But the idea that Irsay made up an injury for him and he is going to be able to milk that all year and get (which is what I have been commenting on) is just absurd and wrong. There are several ways this can play out but I guarantee you JT staying on PUP for 17 games and getting paid is not one unless the guys ankle is falling off. Which would just make JT a bigger ass for his stance. And would keep him from getting paid big by anyone.
In all seriousness though, I dunno. He appeared fine until the drama started then his ankle suddenly was acting up.again.
I'm sure if he's not traded, he'll be playing week 1.
Nobody is saying Irsay faked an injury for Taylor to stay on PUP
He made the phantom back injury up for the potential transition to NFI in a threat that's what they would do to Taylor if he held out or tried to not play
There is no back Injury. Only the ankle

Who is trying to claim the phantom back injury? My “guess” of the situation is that he’s healthy enough to play but his ankle is degenerative. That’s typically why people seek treatment away from the day for 2-3 days. Stem cell in Europe. That’s what manning did.
Regardless you are using JTs statement about no back injury as irrefutable proof that there is no back issue. Yet you are also claiming JT is healthy and lying about his ankle injury. So is the guy a liar and malingerer or not?
