The former running back and present-day TV analyst LeSean McCoy has once again lashed out at the Indianapolis Colts. The former athlete said that the Colts had insulted their star running back by not offering him a new contract with a high amount of money. 

The relationship between Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts is on the verge of decline and McCoy warned the management before. In one of his earlier shows, the former athlete suggested the Colts owner Jim Irsay ‘payout,’ Taylor. He even said that the Colts have only one way to Keep the player in the squad and that is by offering a lucrative offer to the player since he is the best option the Colts are presently having.

This time, he went more brutal in terms of defining the clash between the Colts and Jonathan Taylor. From the sets of the famous NFL-driven TV Talk show, he said that Taylor earned the money as a rookie who won the pro balls and others. Hence there is no logic in not paying him.

“Look at the team. Why wouldn’t you pay him? He is the best player. Every colt knows it. Every player knows it. They pay different offers. They can pay money. They can’t value him $60 million in a year. You need to pay him something rather than paying nothing,” he added.  The analyst kept on elaborating on the tussle between the owner and the player. He said the owner does not want to increase as the team had a horrible season last year. However, Taylor said that the increment would help the team in building.
