I think a lot of that depends on whether the Colts believe JT is still the high character guy they thought he was when they drafted him. Money changes people, and having his weasel agent whispering in his ear is not helping! I don't know all the details, I doubt any of us do, but with what I know now, if I was the Colts I'm not sure I would want this guy after this season!

Make the contract dependent on incentives so some of his money is tied to his performance.

Probably defeats the purpose as far as Taylor is concerned, right?

[Discflinger]

Right

I think this article is spot on, fair to both sides but in the end realistic about the Colts dilemma.

FTA:
Running the ball is important today with the two-high shell looks defenses are running. But the run game depends on so many people as a whole that the actual running back is only a part of that. Scheme, numbers, and offensive line are all things I think about when it comes to how well you're able to run the ball. If those things are done right, you can place any running back in there and have solid numbers.

Would they be Jonathan Taylor? Absolutely not. But could they give you 80% of his production for only a tenth of the cost? Probably, and it seems like that is a bet the Colts are willing to make.

You would have to guarantee a good portion of it, probably what he would have made if tagged for two years. Man has earned it and is worth it. Both sides have a point. If JT gets hurt this year he is in the same shoes as Marlon Mack was-and I don't think that is fair. He has given three years to us, is incredibly valuable and we have the cap space. Each side needs to eat some crow and give a little. Maybe I just want to see JT and AR in the same backfield, both of them sell tickets.

Is Taylor's picture/mural still hanging on the outside of Lucas Oil Stadium? I can't seem to find who is on it now. Last pics I saw were TY and Buckner. One of you locals keep an eye out for Taylor coming down if he is indeed out there.

Google search has become pretty much crap in recent years.

Ummm Holder just said that the trade demand DID NOT happen post Irsay meeting- that meeting was instead an attempt by Jim to get Taylor to walk back his TRADE DEMAND ON THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP!

Wow, and with that, it's officially FU JT time. That would indicate he took this position BEFORE the RB Zoom call. That would say he wasn't cajoled into this role, that would indicate this dude is just belly aching about the status of the RB pay scale. Well dude, as Dungy said, it sucks, but that's what the pay scale is for your role right now.

Sit him out, let him rot, suck suck suck, 3-14 and Marvin Harrison JR with pick # 3 and restart this whole MF'er!
