Overview
- Jonathan Taylor has become the Colts' highest‑profile trade candidate and no deal was completed as the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10 approached.
- After Sunday’s 27‑23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Taylor delivered a grateful, farewell‑style message to fans while saying he was “not sure” if it was his last game and that he did not request a trade.
- Indianapolis sits at 2‑7 and has already traded veterans such as Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, a run of moves that has accelerated a shift toward selling assets for picks.
- Multiple teams have been linked to Taylor in reporting, and the Colts are seeking a premium, futures‑heavy return reportedly comparable to what San Francisco paid for Christian McCaffrey.
- A Taylor trade would reshape the Colts’ short‑term competitiveness by turning a proven offensive weapon into draft capital and would also mark a major change for fans and for Taylor’s own career path.
