[Rapoport] #Colts RB Jonathan Taylor will be away from the team with an excused absence. - eviltoast

Not surprising to see Taylor step away with the continued issues with the team.

    It worked out so well for Bell, I see why others would want to emulate it…

    /s, because Bell recently went on record saying it was a giant mistake and apologized to fans.

      I mean yeah he said he regrets it, but frankly he probably made more money overall by sitting out. He got his high guarantees which is what he wanted. I could see Taylor doing the same.

      For real. I do feel for the RBs though, they used to get top dollar but with the offensive changes of the last few years it’s shown RBBC is a valid strategy if you have an above average line. Draft rookie RB and run them through those deals and let someone else overpay for the slowdown/injury years.
