Perhaps it's irreparable. Although we have seen other ugly situations to varying degrees where the player ultimately stays with their team. People are forgiving. Kenny Moore, for example, wasn't anywhere near this ugly and still a lot of people thought he was done with the Colts. We'll see.
That said, it would have to almost exclusively come from JT and Co. conceding that reality is not on their side. I would hope for some semblance of a united front from the owners/GM's where they look at past examples like Le'Veon Bell, Deshaun Watson, and Lamar Jackson, and don't cave in to this type of thing.
Hopefully make Taylor realize that his best option all along was to bust his ass here in '23 and let the chips fall where they may. Whether that means a new deal here or in FA... or if that means a $13m franchise tag in '24 before he gets a new deal.
Whatever it is, it's better than this for him.
