Jonathan Taylor Stays with Colts: Shocking NFL Trade News

Jonathan Taylor stays with the Colts. It was reported that multiple teams offered a second round pick and a little bit more after that, no first. And the Colts basically wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. It's still very shocking that, you know, he's still on the Colts and Daniel Jones is still on the Colts and all the Josh Downs got traded to the Chiefs. We'll talk about that a little bit, but What are your thoughts on Jonathan Taylor staying? I mean, so many teams could have used that type of running back. The Indianapolis Colts are a stupid organization. I just want to be very clear. They're a stupid organization doing stupid things. You prematurely pulled the plug on your general manager. You begin to sell off all the players that you actually had that could help you even try to rebound or look competent in any way for poor old Shane Steichen. Now you start giving away all the pieces that could actually help you compete. Okay, so now you're having a fire sale. I can respect the fire sale, but when you got a fire sale, you got to sell everything. And if the best you could get for Jonathan Taylor was a second round pick, and you feel like you got to recoup the picks you lost for Sauce Gardner, that's on you. If that's why you fired the general manager because of the lopsided Sauce Gardner trade, you gotta eat that. That's why the guy lost his job. But for you to now still be carrying Jonathan Taylor's emotions around, is Jonathan Taylor now supposed to get absolutely destroyed two yards behind the line of scrimmage because you wanted a first round pick? If I'm Jonathan Taylor, right now my back hurts. What? If I'm Jonathan Taylor right now, I got concussion symptoms. Y'all crazy. Y'all not finna put me out there behind these jokers and get me toned up because y'all wanted a first-round pick because y'all gave up too much for Sauce Gardner? That ain't on me. Somebody already lost their job because of that. And now y'all finna make me get my ass kicked out here? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And John, John, he literally, after the last game on Sunday, he had basically a message to fans, like a goodbye message to fans. Say, thank you for the time in Indianapolis. I grew my family here. I had my kids here and it was just like, it was a, basically a farewell. It was like, yeah, he's probably going somewhere. And, and now you look at the teams that, that didn't go and get him. You look at the Seattle, Green Bay, New England. All these different teams that probably could have thrown the offer that the Colts wanted, and they didn't make that move. And you go to a team like the Jaguars, they're like, I don't care about first-round picks. We're in a championship window. Let's go get it. And you have these other teams that are kind of like, eh, I'm not really sure. What do you make of those teams that did it? Like the Seahawks. I mean, my God, the Seahawks had it right there. It's not like the Seahawks are 3-6. They're 4-4. What do you make of these teams that just didn't give these offers? Listen, my mama used to say, if you're scared, get a dog, okay? If you're Seattle, you're scared, get a dog. You already let K-9 run off the property, and now you got a chance to replenish that with Jonathan Taylor and Zach Charbonnet. Yeah. And maybe, again, This felt like a sign to me that those teams don't really believe that they can win. They think they're having good years, but they don't believe they can win within that building. Jacksonville believes they can win within that building. The Bears believe they can win within that building. And so letting go those picks are a sign within your building, hey, guys, we're all in. If I'm in Seattle, I don't feel like we're all in. If I'm in Green Bay, Jordan Love's playing great. If I'm Jordan Love, y'all not all in, man. And I get it. They might be snakebitten from the Michael Parsons deal in Green Bay. So that, I maybe go a little bit softer on them. But no, man, if you thought you had a chance and all you were missing was a running game and that price was too high, you could have called about Derrick Henry. You could have called about, say, Saquon Barkley. There were guys available at the running back position that if you felt like their price was too steep, call one of these other teams. And the word will get around that you're calling about other running backs, and that could have driven the price down. But it just makes me feel like these teams who we're talking about, who didn't pull the trigger on the running back, Really didn't believe in their organizational possibilities of winning the Super Bowl.
