Overview
- The Colts are receiving multiple inquiries about Jonathan Taylor but plan to wait until after their Week 9 game against the Dallas Cowboys to make trade decisions unless an offer is overwhelming.
- Indianapolis is seeking at least a 2027 second-round pick or comparable multi-pick packages for Taylor and has turned down earlier proposals that did not meet that price.
- Taylor said on Thursday that he has not requested a trade and called the speculation 'noise,' and coach Shane Steichen plans to play him this Sunday unless a deal is completed beforehand.
- Taylor’s wife posted a viral TikTok saying the uncertainty is 'driving me crazy,' highlighting the personal strain on the player’s family as the deadline approaches.
- The talks come after the Colts recently traded Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner and follow organizational changes that leave Indianapolis focused on recouping draft capital while suitor teams face a compressed window to make competitive offers before Nov. 10.
