The Indianapolis Colts are at risk of entering crisis mode as the agent of top offensive player Jonathan Taylor got into a social media feud with owner Jim Irsay about the NFL running back contract market
The agent of Indianapolis Colts superstar Jonathan Taylor responded to an inflammatory social media post made by team owner Jim Irsay that insinuated running backs should not complain about a cold contract market.
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 âbad faith’..”
In response, agent Malki Kawa wrote, “Bad faith is not paying your top offensive player.”
