UPDATE: Jonathan Taylor: Asking For A Trade - New Contract Extension!

[LaChup 229]

Please sweet baby Jesus, may he land on a good team.

[weepaws 3,157]

The Colts owner must have forgotten about Taylor being on his team when spoke up about Rbs in the NFL. 

[GobbleDog 985]

Can't believe the Colts would trade Taylor, no matter how much he hates the owner.  Hold out is unlikely - Rbs don't do that anymore -  year lost, millions lost, and position devalued. No leverage.

Have no idea how this affects his fantasy stock.  Wasn't too interested anyway.

[League Champion 1,896]

What is going on with the RBs? 

JT better land in a good spot 

[Mike FF Today 721]

 

[weepaws 3,157]

Oh boy, it’s going to be interesting. 

[Mike FF Today 721]

 

[polecatt 474]

He'll play this season and the move along next season, nothing much to see here

[IGotWorms 4,057]

I wouldn’t want to play for that sh1tstain Irsay, either.

That sad, Taylor ain’t got much leverage  

[Mike FF Today 721]

Oh boy...

Taylor is saying he “never had” back pain and “never reported” having back pain

[shovelheadt 68]

This is what happens when a wanna be GM keeps inserting himself into personnel conversations. He should stay focused on the the latest auction for Courtney Love's old syringes.

[League Champion 1,896]

This is ugly 

[makindollaz 51]

What are folks who have JT in keeper leagues doing?

I’m debating what to do because I know I won’t get what he’s worth in a trade.

Feels like this could drag on for awhile.

I have him in a dynasty league. I'm not panicking at all, he's going to play somewhere, he has no choice. 

He's a hold, still a young stud 

[Gepetto 1,291]

Obviously I figured it out, but JT? In the title no less. Just going by initials for players on this site now.

James Taylor does not, sir.

[Mike FF Today 721]

This still isn't going well. JT is rehabbing away from the team and Kareem Hunt is scheduled for a visit tomorrow.

 

[IGotWorms 4,057]

I thought Hunt signed with Nola?

[weepaws 3,157]

The three reports I read said it looked like a done deal with the Saints, but off to Indy for Mr Hunt.  I hope he does sign with Indy.  Good match.

Imagine if Hunt didn’t shove that woman in Cleveland….

[Mike FF Today 721]

 

[weepaws 3,157]

That’s a bummer, I wanted him to sign with the Colts.  

[makindollaz 51]

And now JT is away from camp with an excused absence.

I feel like this is going one of two ways…don’t think he’ll just sit out.

He either plays occasionally but any little injury will make him week-to-week, driving fantasy owners crazy.  Or he’ll come out like 2021, knowing he’s playing for the next contract.  More likely #1 than #2.

[weepaws 3,157]

I’ll be passing on him.  

[DaBeerz 88]

Sure glad I avoided JT in my draft...whoof.

Interesting take. He does have a conflict.

Save body for next team -vs- Showcase skill for next team

Only way to do both: Rack up big stats for a few games and then... dang, my hammy!

I have him in a high stakes dynasty league. It's going to kill me if he's out. 

[DaBeerz 88]

I mean, given the Colts are projected to finish bottom 5 this year, plus Irsay's RB comments I can't say as I blame him for wanting out...if he goes anywhere with some average to good QB play his value shoots up.   

 

[makindollaz 51]

JT really doesn’t have much leverage.

If he tanks it he won’t get a big contract from Indy, and is less desirable to other teams.  
 

If he plays to 2021 form, at worst he gets tagged by Indy, which probably gets him a bigger one year deal than he’d get on the market.

I’m not taking him in any redrafts, but am holding onto him in franchise.  I’ve got Stevenson, Etienne & Mattison as my other RB’s so keeping JT on the hope he’ll be 2021 form doesn’t kill me, even if he doesn’t. Trading him for peanuts could give the league to someone else though.

[DaBeerz 88]

JT went 3rd overall in my league which is bananas when Ekeler was still on the board (keeper rights ran out on Ekeler is the reason he wasn't kept)...but in a 1/2 PPR league, it's pretty clear to me. That seemed like a bit of a reach.

Yeah, that's crazy. I wonder what they were thinking there.

Well, keeper league so all teams have 1 starter player before round 1 has to be factored in. 

I mean he's still probably a late first-rounder, but Ekeler, Chubb, Pollard, Barkley were still on the board, depending on how you rate your RBs for 1/2 PPR. the room was pretty silent during the pick let me put it that way.

Must be. When he sees Ekeler piling up points while JT struggles in a tepid offense, he's probably gonna regret that pick.

perhaps.

I actually try not to draft players from my favourite team to avoid situations like that.   but everyone does it to some degree.

if you have 3 guys who the stats value equally you pick the player you are familiar with or the player you like best.   thats usually the tie breaker for most people
