I’m not sure what the Colts need to make concessions on or even how they would. It’s easy to say the they should throw him a bone and up his salary for this year. Or sign him to a mid level contract extension - 2 for 22 or something like that. The problem with a decent two year contract isn’t likely the Colts, it’s likely JT. Every indication is he wants a lot more and likely for longer. Now, I’m sure he’d happily take a bump up to $10m this year if that’s the suggestion, but what does that say to MP? He’s in pretty much the same boat as JT. He’s just at a more valuable position and is handling it much better. At this point it would be stupid to screw MP to give in to JTs hissy fit. So how do the Colts realistically make concessions to JT beyond “prove you are healthy and work in the scheme and we will pay you?”
