Taylor has requested to be traded.
 
Sad. Doubt there is a market for what he wants. He and his agent believe he is an extremely valuable asset that deserves to be paid. There shouldn’t be an issue finding a trade partner that will make the Colts a good offer then. Let them go set up a trade. No less than a (expected) mid level 2nd. Otherwise I’d rather just hold him and let him rot.

This was starting to remind me of the Le'Veon Bell situation. Is it actually going to become that? From Taylor of all guys?

Yea never thought Taylor Would act like a diva

Oh well next man up

Disappointing.....Moss may not have his home run capabilities, but he is a solid back, don't let the door hit you in the ass JT!

Not going to end well for JT. He is replaceable and seems to overvalue himself. Introduce him to LeVeon Bell please. And Bell was a better back by far.

So apparently Irsay has told Al Breer via text that the Colts aren't trading JT.

“We’re not trading Jonathan… end of discussion. Not now and not in October!”

Ok, if they can get a 2nd for him, do it.

Requesting a trade at this point is bullshit, if the rumors are true that they haven’t really even discussed an extension.

Seems like JT just wants out. And if they can get a 2nd for him, pull the trigger.

Right, who would trade for what the Colts would ask? Meanwhile, they have him potentially locked up for years with the franchise tag.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't they non-exclusive franchise tag him in '24 and then let some retard team offer him a dumb contract the Colts don't want to match... and the Colts would get two first-round comp picks?

Of course... Saquon Barkley just got franchise tagged and reportedly Dalvin Cook is being offered something like 2yrs/$19m. Market dictates. Even the retard teams remember Le'Veon Bell robbing the Jets. I don't know what leverage JT's people think he has.

And like Marlon Mack tweeting to pay him... I mean I get it, and I liked Mack, but sorry... Marlon Mack is a textbook example for why RB's are handled the way they are. They're not only subject to more injury risk... they also often don't regain what they had before the injury.

Such a shitty outcome of what once looked like a transcendent opportunity.

We have ALL the leverage. Dude really runs the risk of destroying his career pulling this stunt right now. Seems like such a smart guy, but this is a very stupid move.

Wonder how much is coming from his dumbass agent
