I don't think that the Irsay + JT's agent tweets have caused irreparable harm - a deal could still get done between JT and the Colts.
I would be more concerned about JT's involvement with the "RB Coalition" - if the league's RBs draft up a set of hard lines about certain contract parameters. There needs to be some leeway and flexibility from both the player and the team in order to sign an extension within the current CBA. I think an extension can be done by using the contract numbers of the franchise tags as a guide - although the negotiations will certainly be like trying to thread a needle.
As I stated before, I think the Colts should prioritize an extension with MPJ first, however.
