Taylor has requested to be traded.

[Ironshaft]

I have already pushed my JT jersey to the back of my closet and will box it up for Goodwill once the Colts trade him away. I still have my Big Q jersey to wear.

Next man up.

That said, I understand his desire to be paid more; it is the same desire everyone has. But I also understand that you honor the committments you have already made (in this case to the CBA).

I hope we can get a mid-round 2nd for him and let someone else pay him what he wants. While his persumed production this year would have helped AR get aclimated to the NFL, it only works if he wants to be here. And he does not.

Honestly, I already felt we were about a 4-5 win team in 2023 and with the loss of JT, our target range will probably drop to around 2-4 wins. When your best offensive weapon is a rookie QB....

Marvin Harrison Jr? Paging Marvin Harrision Jr for the Colts....

Draft the best RB available in 2024 with one of our 2nd round picks...
Draft interior O-Line with the other 2nd round pick...
Draft defense with the whole rest of the draft...

Let's start building for 2024 and beyond.

2023 is now just about getting AR comfortable with the offense, developing his NFL timing and hoping that our young wide receiver and tight ends develop (and CBs for that matter).
