Taylor's agent, Malki Kawa, notably retweeted and seemingly confirmed Rapoport's report.
The relationship between the Taylor camp and Irsay and the Colts clearly soured after the owner issued this tweet regarding running backs encountering significant trouble getting paid like their peers this season:
Jim Irsay @JimIrsayNFL Running Back situation- We have negotiated a CBA,that took years of effort and hard work and compromise in good faith by both sides.
