Here’s a quick rundown:
Jim Irsay tweets about the RB situation, mentioning agents selling "bad faith."
Jonathan Taylor reportedly requests a trade from GM Chris Ballard.
Taylor's agent responds, stating that "bad faith is not paying your best player."
Irsay reveals the team has not offered Taylor an extension and has no plans to do so.
Taylor meets with Irsay on his private bus.
Shortly after the meeting, news of Taylor's trade request becomes public, with Irsay reiterating the lack of extension plans.
Irsay expresses his sentiment that if he were to pass away and Taylor was out of the league, there would be no impact on anyone.
The Colts consider placing Taylor on the Non-Football Injury list, potentially leading to the forfeiture of his 2023 salary.
Taylor responds with this tweet 👀…
1.) Never had a back pain.
2.) Never reported back pain.
Not sure who “sources” are, but find new ones 🤔

Eagles to Win Super Bowl 2024 🏆
The Chiefs are obviously favored to win it all (+600) after their 2023 Super Bowl victory. However, winning back-to-back Super Bowls is a rare feat, having been accomplished only eight times in history.
Most recently, Tom Brady and the Patriots achieved this in Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX, but it remains extremely challenging. If anyone other than Brady were to achieve this, it would likely be Patrick Mahomes, who is roughly the same age as Brady was when he accomplished it.
I need to stop trying to convince myself to bet on Mahomes again. This is about how the Eagles are without a doubt in my mind (maybe a little doubt lol) going to win the 2024 Super Bowl. I can see it now.
The Eagles had a 14-3 record a season ago, and they lost in the Super Bowl. Their offense averaged 28.1 points per game (third in the league), while their defense conceded 20.2 (seventh). They were the best overall team last year; the team’s only downfall was playing Mahomes in the Super Bowl. And even then, they only lost 38-35.
What's impressive is that, despite being such a strong team last season, the Eagles managed to get even better, thanks in large part to their general manager, Howie Roseman. They bid farewell to some key veterans in free agency, but Roseman made strategic moves to bolster the team's roster.
They re-signed important players like Lane Johnson, Darius Slay, James Bradberry, and Boston Scott (not as important lol). Additionally, Roseman somehow walked away with two STUDS through the draft in Georgia Bulldogs Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith. And, he made a splash in free agency by signing running backs D'Andre Swift and Rashaad Penny, safety Terrell Edmunds, and a few others.
Defensive end Brandon Graham, center Jason Kelce and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox all chose to embark on another run instead of retirement… I wonder why. 🤔
To top it all off, this picture was seen from an Instagram Story. If you look closely, you can see Jalen Hurts’ phone background. It’s him walking off the field last season with the Chiefs’ confetti on the floor from the 2023 Super Bowl. If that is not an indication of them winning in 2024, I don’t know what is.
Motivation for #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts 🦅
Hurts changed the lock screen on his phone to the picture of him walking off the field after the #Eagles Super Bowl loss to the #Chiefs
Hurts isn't letting himself just forget and move on, which will fuel him to work even harder in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

With a talented roster, solid coaching staff, and a clear Super Bowl vision, the Eagles are primed to win the 2024 Super Bowl.
Alix Earle Cheated on Braxton Berrios 😳
@thegamedayaction That 17 year old gonna show up to his first day of high school as a living legend 🐐 #alixearlebraxtonberrios #braxtonberriosformvp #braxto... See more
I don’t even need to sum up what happened because Jack Parodi from The Game Day Action TikTok account absolutely killed this.🔥 Click that link to follow the account.
Whenever Berrios’ odds become available, I am hitting the UNDER on every single prop he has. Why? Because last year his best friend, Zach Wilson, also went through offseason sh*t, and how did his season go? Maybe one of the worst QB seasons I have ever seen.
