Gotta presume it is the influence of the agent.

Same shit with Emmit Smith back in the day. He was regarded as one of the coolest easiest to get along with guys in the world, loved by the locker room, media, front office, smart and unquestioned work ethic- and then BOOM... HEEL TURN FROM HELL based on $$$.

In that case, they got through it and he went on to do great things for them. One can only hope the same reversal happens here- though the shit being thrown around with the threats to put him on NFI thus taking away his income entirely... yikes, hard to see that landing with all wheels down.

Fuck him. Let him sit on his ass in the locker room all season for all I care. Just another dumb-ass that can't handle fortune and fame.

Doyle is the one making it worse….not Shane Steichen! I didn’t see any thing wrong with coach’s responses.

Again.. He was TOO perfect

You know what the fuck it was… he got married

Time for this billionaire and millionaire to put their egos aside and make a deal. They need each other, we need JT happy and this is over what, 2-3 million bucks? Get him a guaranteed 30 million over the next 3 years and be done with it. Start talking to each other, both of you assholes.

So apparently Taylor can either retire, sit out and not get paid...and possibly be fined lots of money, or be put on the NFI list and not be paid and not have this year count against his remaining contract years. So I assume he'll play and be a malcontent all season. My question is: how can we fans be expected to cheer for this guy? We want to win and for the team to do well. I'm sure I'll cheer if he breaks off some breakaway TD runs. But this puts fans in a weird predicament. Why can't this team ever have a normal, boring, run up to the season? It's tiring anymore to be honest.

Or they could act like adults, get together and find a way out of this. This relationship isn't irreparable as long as they both need each other. There is time for this to cool off and someone to broker a peace between these two rich pricks.

Hahaha...I wish it was that easy. A billionaire got slighted I love Jim

If this thinking is right that he is carrying the water for the RB's as a collective, then he in essence is the union rep and he can't fold and if so, f-k him for being that naive.
