Colts superstar RB Jonathan Taylor requests trade

[FaTaL]

I hope he gets his money

Damn

Dolphins are interested but they gonna have to pay Tua soon assuming he doesn’t get another concussion

Plus Jaylen Waddle is up soon as well

 

[FaTaL]

For some reason switching teams is a death sentence for an elite RB. shyt almost never works out. The only recent example I can think of is CMC

The system also matters, some guys are strictly runners in a zone blocking scheme or man blocking scheme.

Tua isn’t getting a long term deal with a big front loaded bonus.

If someone is willing to pay this then take it, but overall this situation is stupid.

Hopefully they stand firm and refuse to trade for less.

Won’t pay JT like he’s a top-of-the-market RB and yet, they’re asking for a 1st in return if they trade him.

 

[Supa]

Pay him now while you're not paying your QB. He helps take pressure off Richardson and if he develops when it's time to pay him you can move on from JT.

Bruh I hate that shyt…

We can’t pay him like he’s one of the top players at his position. But if we trade him we want to be compensated like he’s one of the top players at his position.

Interesting how some of these Colts fans view Taylor……but were ready to bleed a kidney over Andrew Luck

This is so bizarre from the Colts standpoint. RBs like him can take the pressure off a young QB.

The only one I can come up with off the topic of my head other than CMC is Shady. It also probably not as common for all-pro level RBs to change teams in their primes.

The foul shyt is.. they can franchise him at the end of the season

This is what I don't understand. Anyone who watches the game can see this but, these coaches, GM, and owners don't.

The love and trust in the QB position, has overshadowed everything in today's game.

Taylor is a monster, been watching the kid since his Wisconsin days. He just gotta stay healthy though. I want to see him win.

The guaranteed money on his extension would run its course before ARs 5th year option even kicks in (assuming he pans out). It's the exact situation where paying him should be an easy call.

Just a team following trends for the sake of it rather than looking in the mirror and realizing zigging when everyone else zags can be in your best interest. Irsay dumping gasoline on the fire also makes it way more complicated than it should be.
