My guess is it’s a desperate play to try to get the payday that may disappear if JT has a potential degenerative injury or is seen as “worn down”. They know no other team is going to pay him, the whole summer it’s been noted how depressed the market is. So you try to pressure the team into acting by painting them as the bad guys in the media. Hope the panic and outcry from the fans spurs the team to act. Especially with all the talk of how much JT would help ARs transition. They tried to leverage the media and fans into forcing the team to act. Seemed to work nationally- JT had a lot of support and Colts were seen as stupid or inept. Didn’t work as well locally though.
