-- All Options on the Table for Jonathan Taylor --
Sun Sep 10, 2023 --from FFMastermind.com

NFL.com reports sources say all options are now on the table for Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle - PUP). Sources say Taylor is healthy and likely would be able to pass a physical today if one was required. That indicates he would be able to come off the PUP list as soon as is allowed. The Colts placed Taylor on PUP on Aug. 29 as he continued to recover from an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. Green Bay offered two mid-round picks for Taylor, but now that the regular season has started, those talks are over, sources say. Don't be surprised if Miami is still an option, sources say. They had extensive talks with Colts GM Chris Ballard and despite discussing various options... picks, players, both... no deal grew imminent. With four weeks to evaluate its current options, Miami getting back in the mix is possible, as no one has closed the door. There also could be another high-quality RB-needy team that emerges if an injury occurs or a player doesn't quite perform as expected. There is also the chance... slim, but possible... that Taylor returns to play for Indy. That would likely require a contract extension... which the Colts have not yet been willing to offer. In the meantime, Taylor is training hard and as one source explained, the waters are calming down.
