Hopefully this is a step towards forgetting all our silly squabbles and just being happy friends again in time for week 1
Hopefully this means 1) we’re trying to talk in good faith with him and 2) he feels he is closer health-wise to normal
I honestly think the NFI talk is all about shutting down malingering as a negotiation ploy.
Sounds like good news to me. Placing him on NFI would break the relationship entirely
C’mon colts, don’t be petty
Hope we just strong arm him. By far his smartest move right now is to play with Richardson, almost assuredly dominate as a running QB is an amazing boon for a RB, and then go get the $12M per or whatever he might actually be worth to whoever wants to pay him.
If he really thinks hitting free agency off a bad, injured year, plus throwing a public fit and reneging on the deal he signed is best for him, then good riddance.
I doubt they really were serious. It seems more like they’re letting him know, they’re not gonna play that game if that’s what JT is trynna do.
Now that I realize 1) Indy has the cap space to meet JTs demand 2) the new QB could use a good RB as he matures 3) the likelihood of a Jacob’s or Dalvin Cook ever joining Indy is near zero…

[Holder’s actual article](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38123051/inside-jonathan-taylor-trade-standoff-colts) makes the ankle sound even more concerning imo. Taylor was bitter that the team wanted to know if he was healed? Six months after a surgery with a one month recovery time? Something else is going on
