Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

laxcoach said:
Yes. The nflpa was threatening to strike. The owners played hard ball and did the lockout.

There was a collusion case and a settlement was intertwined with the final CBA deal.

If you go back, a huge number of players were taking out loans because they didn’t have the ability to stay afloat. And, it was widely reported that a majority wanted it to end no matter the cost.

They could have played hardball back and tried to get the draft, the waiver wire, trades, and the salary cap deemed to be illegal collusion. They blinked because players couldn’t afford it.

I know what you're referring to. Again, I think you're underestimating their resolve. We'll see what happens.
 
I don’t expect Grier to cave to the threat that another team is attempting to trade for Taylor. Grier should stick to what he believe is fair value in trading for a RB who is coming off recent ankle surgery and hasn’t been on the field since last year.

If another team makes a better offer to the Colts and the Colts take that offer, so be it. It will just mean the Dolphins can upgrade their RB position in the 2024 draft if they want to, since they will still have their first and second round picks.
 
They never seem to hide our identity as a mystery team when we are working trades.

If the Fins havent been made aware of this other team they need to walk away from the table.
 
Saw a report that the Colts don't consider any offer as significant. Its widely reported that Miami made an offer. Grier should tell them to bleep themselves at this point.

They got Benjamin Allbright working for them too. Crazy stuff.

You realize that they see one report and then cite "their own sources" and report as well right?

I didn't realize you believed everything the media tells you....

You do realize that the medical staff of the Dolphins now is not the same medical staff when Jimmy Johnson was the head coach?

Blaming the present medical staff for something that transpired 25 years ago is ridiculous.

Yes, you are correct. I don’t know why I thought that dr John Uribe was part of dr Virgin’s medical team in 2005. I was wrong. That decision was made after the team consulted 6 other specialist, including dr Virgin, and they all said that they didn’t think Brees career would last. Only dr Andrews, who performed the surgery, said at the time that he thought Brees would have no recurrent problems. And he was right.

That's absolutely not what happened.

I didn't realize you thought Broncos reporters with no skin in the game were easily manipulated by Jim Irsay.

You have no idea what happened and neither do I. Conjecture on both of our parts to this point.

But here is something I know for a fact.

The talking heads talk out of their rear ends.

Why has this mystery team not been named yet everyone is "reporting" our interest?

Why is Schefter reporting the deal won't happen when it's obvious Taylor and Irsay have reached the point of no return?

I'm just taking the evidence at hand and trying to make sense of it while you are taking everything being reported as fact.

Differences in approach, we'll see how she plays out.

No problem. We sometimes forget how fast all those years have gone by since Jimmy Johnson was the head coach of the Dolphins. It seems like just yesterday.
 
Unless it's a bunch of 1s, Irsay and the Colts have no intention of trading Taylor. They're just making it look like they are so they do not come of as jerks.

This whole thing is a ploy by Indy to placate Taylor's request...then force his stay....and accept a deal on their terms.
 
Just talked to my source and it said it is putting the over under on this thread at 500 pages. That is if he doesn’t get traded before the trade deadline. Then I :DTD: it.

This "mystery team" sounds non-existent. Irsay is trying to get Grier to bid against himself.

I agree, these teams know all the ins and outs. Meaning Grier knows (as most GMs do) who is in and out. Saw it I a different sport but the upper level decision makers always knew everyone interested and to what level for trade talks.

Free agents on the other hand are different.

I think you're either misunderstanding what I'm saying or...well, I'm not sure what the other option is.

Benjamin Allbright literally stated last night that the Eagles were "sniffing around" Jonathan Taylor.

Ian Rapoport literally stated this morning that there were "at least two" teams still working on the a Taylor trade.

These are two well-sourced, well-known reporters who have absolutely no reason to make stuff up.

I'm not saying that what they're reporting is fact. I'm simply suggesting that there's pretty decent evidence to suggest Miami ISN'T the only team involved here, while others (you included) seem to be insistent on ignoring said evidence and adamant that "it's all made up."
