Colts give Jonathan Taylor permission to be Traded

Irsay does not want to trade Taylor. He simply allowed JT and his agent to talk to teams to prove to JT his value and as a courtesy. He would trade him for a 1st rd pick but he has no intention of giving him away. Reports are the highest offered was a 3rd. The fact that Waddle is a laughable request shows the relative value in the positions. JT is a top 3 back, Waddle is not a top 3 WR, yet it’s obviously a laughable trade suggestion. That’s the point of this whole thing. JT feels under valued as a running back. Pittman is more valuable to the Colts than JT is and he’s in the same boat - playing out the last year of his rookie contract.

I also see guys saying JT said he is healthy and the Colts are screwing him by leaving him on PUP. No, JT said he didn’t have a back injury. JT is either really still injured or he’s faking injury. The Colts want JT to play and honor his contract. JT says he’s not healthy. Therefore he is on PUP. Things get really interesting if he stays on PUP for 6 games. Provisions in the CBA COULD allow the team to not activate him and not pay him. And his contract would roll over to next year. I’m sure there would be arbitrators involved. The whole back injury was likely JT saying he was injured and listing his back and the team threatening to call his bluff. As that would potentially allow them to put him on NFI.

Regardless JT is the one claiming he’s not healthy otherwise he would have been practicing and suiting up for week one. Next move is JTs - does he say he’s healthy, play then fake another injury? We’ll see. He has 4 weeks to decide. He’s taking guidance from an agent with only 2-3 NFL clients. Coincidentally his biggest client is Leonard who the Colts did pay early with a massive contract. One that currently looks like a mistake. His main clients have been MMA.

Too much drama, we are out.

Retreat? LMFAO. There is nothing to "retreat" from. I read several accounts through this whole thing and if you choose to believe a user named "young slim" I got nothing for ya.

Taylor either was going to be Dolphin or he was not. There is no ground in between, if you wanted him to be a Dolphin you put faith in young slim, if you didn't you reacted accordingly.

Grier openly said "the offer is the offer" and it was up to Irsay to accept or decline, Irsay declined and depending on who you want to believe threw wild demands around like a 1st and Waddle.

Simple fact is, you, me, ESPN, young slim or any other verified or unverified account will never know 100% what transpired or which account was the closest to reporting the actual events that transpired.

Now there are reports that the Colts wanting to suspend Taylor, they believe him to be healthy staging a hold-in. Lol. Dysfunction in Indy at it's finest.

Putting out 'trades' you know have zero chance of being accepted just to play the PR game of 'we tried to satisfy his trade demands' is a perfect way to get teams to not bother dealing with you again.

Just to clarify...before this proceeds, you're going to continue to argue this point with me...when you're not me? You're going to proceed to tell me that it wasn't worth my time to go across the Delaware and fill up my tank? To start with, it isn't the price of gas that matters (aside from the fuel used traveling to the station). It's the price difference.

It worked out to about $6 saved each time, and it cost me very little of my time, because I'd do so either during or after work. That was a couple happy hour beers at Barley Creek. It works.

The very reason the price of gas matters is because of the fuel used to get to the station. So that sentence of yours is nonlogical.

And to be clear, that $6 assumes free time and a free truck, right?

If you enjoy the drive to NJ, do that. Hate the PA DOT, but love funding NJ's? Unusual, but you do you. But I wouldn't call pointing out basic math arguing. It clearly not the no brainer you made it out to be.

It was literally 10 miles out of my way plus a dollar toll every time I filled up. What depreciation voodoo on my truck are you arguing?

35 gallons of gas at a .30 savings = $10.50 Using a gallon of gas for the round trip is $3.50.
The toll is $1.

That’s $6 remaining.

You can, if you wish, go back in time to when gas was $2 per gallon. It still works out.

Or, you can pay yourself .28 per mile for whatever reason. It’s still a savings, albeit not much.

I’m pretty much done at this point, not only because you’re the only person who feels like arguing against the “if you’re near Jersey you fill up in Jersey” bit, which everyone seems to get…

…but also because you LIVE IN INDONESIA. If I want to debate traffic laws in Jakarta, I’ll look you up.

So in the end I wanna congratulate all FH for trying to make this topic better than Cook is Cooking...in terms of replies.

I have consulted my 🧮 abacus and the final total between the two topics tallied over 6000 replies!!!





....what a waste of time lol

wow I didn't know that a grown man could get upset so easily about basic math.

Your rambling is pretty incoherent. Cheaper gas means it makes MORE sense to go out of one's way to fill up. So if it works out now, it works out even better with cheaper gas given the same spread. Cool that you think driving more doesn't have any associated costs. You had said 10 miles away. Debatable if it that is near but it means 20 miles roundtrip out of your way. But you made it seem like a its a no brainer. Most people don't have 37 gallon tanks. But funny enough, people w 15 gallon tanks are probably doing the same thing and think they are being clever. And I don't know what living somewhere else has to do with following logic.

Again, I'm speaking for me. And I'm not upset about basic math. I'm just not going to debate with you any more because you refuse to acknowledge that my math works. For me.
