NFL 2023 - Off-Season Player Updates/Discussion

Wow. Wonder what the reason is?

Wow. Wonder what the reason is?

I think we're a fair way apart on the contract.

Gonna be a lot of RBs out of work if they all start waiting for big deals

Yep. I'm happy for him to go. We're not even a realistic contender to win an awful division right now and Taylor doesn't seem likely to resign here in the future.

Would love him opposite Burns in Carolina if it's for a 5th round or something like that, we have the most cap room in the league I'm pretty sure can afford him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

.let's no forget Ekeler asked for a trade this offseason and no one was interested in re doing his contract so nothing happened, reckon Taylor would ask for a new deal, yes he's younger but teams will still be hesitant given his recent injuries, there is a long way to go between asking for a trade and getting one as a running back.

 

[Shade]

I cant see any world where Taylor would get traded there just isn't a market for backs anymore.

His agent is ****ing ******ed to begin with he's going to come out of this more of a loser than a winner anyway you look at it.

Won a couple of SB's and can see the writing on the wall in terms of RB money.

You can understand the decision.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Had to do it with Smith already gone and glad to pay up for another year to keep him around.

They set an extremely low bar last year, but if we can see the young guys we invested the draft capital in recently on Defence stay healthy I'm cautiously optimistic and interested in what Flores can do with it all.

Man this Taylor and colts situation is just wild.

After the way the OL performed last year, they should pay the difference.

 

[Exe Gesis]

After a long while of bad blood, all of a sudden both parties will express they're in a good relationship yadyada. Money bringing people together.

Far too much Irsay noise. If it goes on too much longer, particularly at the public and increasingly petty level, and the lockeroom is going to rapidly deteriorate just as you bring in a Rookie QB

You would think Taylor is worth the minimum viable investment, yes an 'RB overpay', for a couple of seasons while Richardson tries to figure it out and the OL tries to un **** itself.

[srobbo]

Had a great rookie year at NE behind a stacked line, then got worked out pretty quick that he couldn’t break tackles & could never run straight at LOS.

End of the day he got 2 rings, with his health & wealth intact. Well played.

Very well said Jebus. In the right situation you should absolutely still pay star RBs and this is one of them.

Irsay has been on a rampage the past few years publicly undermining coaches and players for the Colts. Seems hes unaware that hes bringing his franchise down from within rather than inspiring them to be better. STFU and just pay the bills with your massive profits and let football people make football decisions you dickhead, how did it work out when you sacked Reich and hired your guy Jeff Saturday again?

 

[Constantgin]

Colts just don’t pay rbs it’s not a new thing.

 

[Constantgin]

Plus I remember Ballard saying with new coach they weren’t going to extend guys like jt and Pittman till they are see how fit in the new scheme.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Probably helped the offense a little that they had an ok QB at the time.

Peyton something.

I mean you get it from both sides, but they're in the spot where they don't have to pay the QB until 2028 if he is any good, outside of Pittman none of the WR's either for a few years yet if they're any good, give a couple of years to a guy that would help open the offense up more than most in the league and that you do know is good.

It's just funny how they happily burn money at other positions, like taking the hit on Luck and still letting him keep the $25m odd or whatever it was in bonuses etc. outside of that, but can't stump a little extra for a couple of seasons for a premier player at his position that they also plaster over all their season tickets and schedule art etc.

 

[Constantgin]

Let’s not forgot Taylor was injured and pretty average last season. So his had a good rookie year and great 2nd year and a pretty average injured 3rd can see why colts want to wait to see if he bounces back before resigning him.

Yep and JT wants to cash in while hes relatively physically able before he might becone horse glue from more injuries

Let's not downplay the OL's performance last year in the bigger picture of what happened at both QB and RB. Dead last in Pass Block win rate and 23rd in run.

Overall, in the 11 games he played he still offered the 5th best yards per game, YPC dropped by .5, and was about 140yds short of 1k. It's a dip yeah cause of games missed but still pretty solid when you look at how the offense overall performed, and the ankle sprain stuff is a concern, but he is only 23 and during cleanup there was no structural damage.
