Jonathan Taylor requests trade

[Thruthefog]

...which would create even bigger busts.

Now you have my attention.

Players Association won't allow the suggestions here. Most of you know this.

Interesting that they are saying that GB went after Taylor.

I assume they just offered Dillion straight up for him.

......

Not sure if this has been mentioned and I haven't seen it mentioned in the media but I am pretty sure this constitutes a holdout now that Taylor is on PUP.

IMO he shouldnt qualify for a year of service now. In other words he should be a RFA next offseason and NOT a UFA. Meaning the Colts should have the opportunity to tag and trade at a much lower value than the franchise tag. Be interesting to see how that plays out.

If they wanted to, they could do guaranteed contracts and allow for injury to remove money due from the cap total. But that costs a lot of money so they’ll never do it. It would also create a haves vs have nots situation we see in baseball where big market teams can buy their way out of mistakes the front office makes.

So instead, just don't pay them.

Is he technically holding out if he's on the PUP?

The Packers are bumbling idiots. They had the best QB and WR in the league. Let them both go and want the best RB.

That's what I cant figure out exactly.

Chris Jones was place on a similar list but it was reported as a reserve/DNR list. Taylor doesnt sound like he is on THAT list. I dont understand why the Colts, who has taken it this far, wouldn't just continue to go at him and put him on that list (it assures them of getting a pick for him).

Because it is plainly obvious this is a holdout.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said “no trade was close” for Jonathan Taylor before the Colts placed him on the PUP list.
Taylor is pursuing a “top of the market” contract extension, according to Pelissero. That was enough to turn off potential suitors who considered acquiring Taylor before Tuesday’s deadline. Now Taylor, struggling with a back injury, will miss at least the first four games of the season. We could hear more trade talk before the NFL’s October trade deadline, though it’s hard to imagine a team desperate to acquire an injured Taylor.

Did y'all see the stories that the Colts asked Miami for Waddle straight up? I find that quite hilarious. The translation being, "JT, we are going to ask for the most outrageous shit and you aren't getting your wish."

On the opposite end, what do you think Miami offered? Probably low-balled...

this is the problem and reminds me that timing is everything.

Miami probably offered exactly where the Colts value Taylor. A 3rd rounder.

 

[Niner Outlaw]

So, was being "among" the highest paid RBs in the league good enough for Taylor?

Report: Packers, Dolphins were willing to make Jonathan Taylor "among" highest-paid running backs in NFL

In order to accomplish a trade for running back Jonathan Taylor, a new team had to placate both the Colts and the player.

timing remains everything

Likely yeah. I thought I saw something that included the guy they dealt to Dallas and a couple of throw-ins but I could be mistaken on that one. Either way, they weren't going to offer one of their key pieces. Their roster is good enough without Taylor and it just all depends on Tua staying healthy at this point.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Moral of the story to NFL caliber kids, don't bulk up and become running backs. You'll be crippled and nobody wants to give you a payday, even when you're elite.

 

[megalodon30]

Taylor gets extension.

 

[Pure Steel]

Taylor gets extension.

Great news, now give him tomorrow off please….

 

[wazzu31]

Now if they would just start Minshew they’d make the playoffs

 

[fastforward]

If it's a 3 year $42M extension then his new contract is for 3 years + 13 games in 2023 for $46.3M. Without any firm details it sounds like $11.5M, $12.5M, and $13.5M for the next 3 years with 2023 & 2024 fully guaranteed + roster bonus guaranteed in 2025. It doesn't sound like a win for Taylor, but then his starting point was asking for the Moon. Anyway, good luck to both sides.
