Colts Open to Trading Jonathan Taylor
31 Oct
Summary
- Colts are actively discussing trades for star running back Jonathan Taylor.
- Multiple teams have reached out, with ongoing talks for the star player.
- Indianapolis seeks compensation similar to the Christian McCaffrey trade.
Sources indicate the Indianapolis Colts have become open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor. Active and ongoing discussions are occurring with multiple teams that have expressed interest, including the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Seattle Seahawks.
Indianapolis is reportedly seeking a trade package comparable to the one the San Francisco 49ers offered for Christian McCaffrey. Taylor, who is under contract through 2028, is seen as an attractive asset. The Colts recently traded away Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for draft picks, signaling a willingness to shed salaries for future assets.
Despite the potential for trades, both Taylor and wide receiver Josh Downs are expected to play in the team's upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Shane Steichen addressed the trades with the team, framing them as part of the NFL's business. Taylor himself stated he has not requested a trade but acknowledges the business aspect of the league.
