That sure would have been fun. I'm guessing it was just the normal "what you asking for" type of talks though.

People don't realize how good this dude is.

4.3 speed. When this dude gets a seam, he's gone. No one's gonna catch him from behind. And with our Oline? He'd get getting a lot of seams.

Goodson has speed like that too, but now he's hurt. AC Joint. Not gonna heal soon.

I'm seeing a lot of folks on Tweeter being silly. Saying "got Dillon and Jones, why you need Taylor". I mean, seriously?

Jones is 28, Taylor is 24. RB's are known to fall off at 30. You don't pass up on a talent like Taylor because you have Jones and Dillon. You get creative. You put Jones out at WR spots.

He is a FA next year and is likely wanting an extension with any trade. Could trade him for Dillon and maybe one of our Tackles and see what he's got when he comes off PUP? This would get Wilson reps as well which would be good to see if we could move on or have leverage with Jones for next year.

Didn't think we would be in trade talks, but there is no doubt he is a great RB when healthy.

Colts are asking for a 1, but we happen to have two first round picks coming up this year. We got extra depth at OT and Edge too, in case they want a player.

Packers offered AJ Dillon and 3rd. Colts reportedly countered with AJ Dillion, Christian Watson and a 1st

I think this is fake news, but it's being bounced around.

Then again, who knows? Holder seems to confirm Colts are asking sky and moon. If I'm Taylor, I'm saying why you think I'm so valuable to ask for the sky and moon, but pay me peanuts?

Some folks saying Packers doing AJ Dillon wrong, but really. NO! AJ Dillon is on final year in contract. He goes to Colts, he's the starter and gets the best chance to really cash in as much as he can.

If Jonathan Taylor is willing to sign a 4 year, 50 million extension ($12.5 million per year extension), then I'd throw some 3rd round picks at the Colts.

Gute has mostly sucked with 3rd round picks

But I agree, if WR Watson, RB Dillon and a 1st was the offer, then they didn't want to trade RB Taylor.
