Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter said he expects the Colts to move Jonathan Taylor and likely wide receiver Josh Downs before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- League sources and reporting say Indianapolis is asking roughly the value of a first‑round pick for Taylor and has enough interest to hold that price.
- Multiple contenders — including the Seahawks, Vikings, Packers and Giants — have checked in on Taylor, creating competition that could push the cost higher.
- Teams that fail to land Taylor are expected to pivot to alternatives such as Jets RB Breece Hall or veterans like Tony Pollard, though the Jets have publicly said they are not shopping Hall.
- The Colts’ recent trades of Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner have signaled a rebuild and raised urgency to convert veterans into draft capital, while Taylor’s two‑year extension through 2028 complicates buyer willingness.
