This is either his character or he has an ulterior motive for the way he has handled things. Either way it’s not a guy I want to commit to long term at one of the most replaceable positions in the league. I’m more than willing to take flyers on talent, but RB isn’t a position where you need to IMO.

I think it’s likely JT knows he has ankle issues and is trying to cash in now. That’s why the attitude and agent change. Why he supposedly got pissed at the team requesting he come in for a physical before camp. Why the treatment away from the team. Things weren’t healing properly and he’s trying to make sure he gets paid before they deteriorate or he lacks explosion on the field. He could be trying to make sure the Colts don’t Franchise him next year like Jacobs and Barkley. Or he could be trying to use the whole AR situation as leverage against the team. Plenty of comments nationally about how this is hurting AR.

Either way, at this point I don’t want the team to commit to him long term. I simply want them to get value for him. Either on the field honoring his current contract or with draft compensation. I don’t trust his character or his health to give him a 4 yr contract.

I agree. I forgot the caveat that he needs to prove healthy first.

He was a lot of fun to watch in 2021. Too bad it's all turned to shit. I'll miss him if he gets traded, but I understand.

I am betting that even if JT plays for us it will still be somewhat of a running back by committee. Nobody on this team can come close to being the home run threat JT is BUT in this day and age being able to run routes, catch the ball and most importantly pass block are more important attributes than breaking a 60 yard run every once in a while in my opinion.

I think, and there's a lot of hopium in here, but I do think with him back there, we could see an offense that becomes elite- even at the latter portion of this year. In that game the other night you already saw the impact Richardson has on the D line- and the holes that created for JAG's. Now imagine a true 60+ everytime he touches it threat back there with him. The front 7 is going to be on skates and every little fake- which Richardson already looks to be fantastic at- is going to create gapping holes. Then imagine the likes of Richardson and JT in a stretch mode- and the madness that could result from him NOT giving the ball off but planting and throwing 60 yard streaks...

To me, that's the difference- him coming back could put us on schedule to become a really dangerous offense in a much shorter time, and it could benefit his potential to get rewarded. Unfortunately he / his agent appear too dense to see the value of this potential.

[Oldcolt]

Yep, especailly when we the run options. When that isn't the plan, however, when we are going to pass and need blocking/receiving ability do you keep him in? The ability to keep JT fresh and mix up what the defense has to prepare for could prove to be fun for us to watch.

He's just the current news bot. The indyamber replacement. I was informed of this last season by top authorities.

While the Colts have been in Indy.. They have had great RBs the likes of Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James... Colts won their one SB.. with Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes... Yeah I think I'll take my chances of not paying to have a superstar RB.
