The 2023 common season begins with Colts working again Jonathan Taylor on the reserve/bodily unable to carry out listing. The designation retains him out for at the least 4 video games.

Then what?

Per a number of experiences, Taylor may go a bodily and play now. (The Colts would possibly say Taylor may have handed a bodily weeks in the past, and that claims of ache in his ankle have been geared toward exercising leverage.)

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, commerce talks likely will resume once Taylor is able to return. The Packers, who explored a potential commerce, at the moment are out. The Dolphins, who spoke to the Colts a few potential commerce, may nonetheless be in.

Other groups may become involved. Injuries may create curiosity. Ultimately, the query turns into whether or not the Colts will likely be cheap of their calls for.

The information that they requested the Dolphins for a package deal together with receiver Jaylen Waddle urged that the Colts have been weren’t being cheap. If the Colts don’t regard Taylor as somebody who deserves a high-end deal, they shouldn’t be searching for high-end compensation for him.

The different wrinkle turns into Taylor’s monetary expectations. Will somebody pay what he desires? Will he take lower than he desires to get out of Indianapolis?

The Colts may simply kick the can till the offseason, tagging Taylor and buying and selling him at that time. If that occurs, will Taylor play for the Colts this season? If he doesn’t play in any respect this 12 months, how engaging will he be in 2024?

For now, the motion will occur if in any respect earlier than the Tuesday after Week 8. That’s the 2023 deadline for any and all trades.
