Overview
- The Colts are publicly asking for a first‑round pick or a Christian McCaffrey–style package of multiple midround picks in exchange for Jonathan Taylor.
- Multiple teams — including the Giants, Vikings, Broncos and Packers — have made inquiries but have not met Indianapolis’s valuation.
- Derrick Henry has been taken off the market after Baltimore signaled it will not trade him, increasing interest in alternatives such as Tony Pollard, who would likely cost only a midround pick.
- Jonathan Taylor remains on the Colts’ roster and is expected to play in Week 9, which means any trade would have to clear the roster and medical checks before the Tuesday, Nov. 10, 4 p.m. ET deadline.
- The Colts’ shift to a partial teardown and earlier moves that traded Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner have created urgency to rebuild draft capital, but Taylor’s 2028‑running contract gives Indianapolis leverage to reject offers it deems too low.
