I'm just saying from the Colts perspective.

They had an opportunity to cut ties and get 2 second rounders for a guy who's going to not be ready for the season, and then presumably they're going to lose anyway.
They'll franchise tag him next year. So either he plays for the Colts or he doesn't play. I assume the feeling is that he'll play, if not this year then next year or they'll get what they want in trade.

Did any team actually offer two 2nd rounders? Because that would be insane to offer and even crazier to turn down.

I can't find evidence of it and I don't remember where I saw it, if it was accurate, and these are all leaks/rumors anyway, but I thought the Dolphins offered a 2nd this year and next year and then a few bum players for salary purposes.

And that maybe the Colts wanted a first or something like that.

According to what I saw the Colts wanted Jaylen Waddle and a mid round pick for Taylor. Miami turned them down.

As would I.

I don't like to trade pieces that are working for pieces that might not work.  I'd rather trade pieces that aren't working or trade away futures.

The Colts have big ones to ask for Waddle.  there's not a GM in this league that would make that trade, unless it was Waddle for Taylor + picks.

3 years of Waddle for 13 games (maybe) of Taylor means the picks would have to be their next 5 1st Rounders for it to be reasonable.

EDIT: Since this is being confirmed by many outlets, it appears that Irsay has fallen back on his painkiller addiction. There is no other reasonable answer for why he asked for 3 years of Waddle PLUS MORE in exchange for 13 games of a running back. Let us now pray for Jim Irsay's recovery.
