it's a pissing contest. Colts are going to suck and be bad this year. They will need Taylor more than ever so his value goes up. Indy cant risk losing him but teams arent going to (over)pay for RBs so where is he gonna go?
Irsay says he wont be traded but come back later in the season when 1 or 2 contending teams may need a RB and willing to give up more than they should for Taylor. If Pollard got injured, I could totally see Jerray overpaying to get Taylor
I think this situation could be good for all parties down the road. Taylor could play for a contender and Colts could reap some rewards for trading him mid-season. Start the discontent now so GMs know he's available at some point

INDIANAPOLIS- Jonathan Taylor, who has requested a trade, reported back pain during his pre-training camp physical that was deemed to be from an injury that was not sustained while playing for Indianapolis, a league source told ESPN.
The situation now has the team considering whether to place Taylor on the non-football injury list, which could result in Indianapolis withholding his salary, the source said.
Taylor failed his physical, the source said, because of a combination of a previous ankle injury for which surgery was performed earlier this year and the back injury. The team's medical staff had not previously discussed a back issue with Taylor, and the Colts were unaware of the problem until Taylor reported Tuesday, the source said.
There's some belief that the back issue stems from an old injury, but Taylor continues to complain of discomfort, according to the source.

No deal: Indianapolis did not find what it felt was a fair-value offer for Jonathan Taylor and it is not trading its All-Pro running back today, league sources tell ESPN. With no trade materializing today, Taylor now is expected to remain on the Physically Unable to Perform List, making him ineligible to play the first four games of the season. Taylor now is expected to miss games vs. the Jaguars, at Houston, at Baltimore and vs. the Rams.
