The Indianapolis Colts were shooting their shot in their compensation demands if a trade for running back Jonathan Taylor was to materialize ahead of yesterday’s roster cuts deadline. The Colts self-imposed a deadline to have any potential deal involving Taylor coincide with the NFL’s mandated 53-man roster limit came and went without a deal in place, leading to Indianapolis placing Taylor on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, sidelining for at least the first four games.
The Miami Dolphins were believed to be the leaders in possibly landing Taylor, but they did not offer Indianapolis a deal which the Colts found acceptable.
