Irsay's remarks came amid uncertainty surrounding Taylor, who is entering the final year of his deal and has yet to participate in training camp this week despite being pictured at team facilities. He is considered one of the organisation's top players but is just the ninth-highest earner by 2023 base salary. "NFL Running Back situation- We have negotiated a CBA,that took years of effort and hard work and compromise in good faith by both sides..to say now that a specific Player category wants another negotiation after the fact,is inappropriate," wrote Irsay on Twitter. "Some Agents are selling 'bad faith'.." In response, agent Malki Kawa wrote, "Bad faith is not paying your top offensive player." The Colts placed Taylor on the active/physically unable to perform list on Tuesday, which means he cannot practice until they transfer him to their active squad. While he endured offseason ankle surgery, the move had not been hinted at beforehand and there was speculation that it might be related to his contract situation. Running backs around the NFL, from Saquon Barkley to Josh Jacobs to Austin Ekeler, have decried the devaluation of their position. In fact, stars reportedly met virtually this past weekend to discuss the challenging market after Barkley and Jacobs did not receive multi-year contracts before the July 17 deadline. Barkley ultimately agreed a one-year deal, but Jacobs is considering a holdout through the beginning of the campaign. Earlier this offseason, Taylor said, "You just want to be treated fairly. Not even treated fairly. You just want to be){kind=link}
