Overview
- Multiple league sources report the Colts have fielded numerous inquiries about Jonathan Taylor and other veterans but have not accepted any offers that meet their valuation.
- Indianapolis is publicly seeking a draft return comparable to the 2022 Christian McCaffrey deal, a package several outlets described as the benchmark for moving Taylor.
- The club plans to pause major trade activity until after Sunday’s Week 9 game unless an offer arrives that they consider irresistible.
- Taylor, who signed a two‑year extension in August keeping him under contract through 2028, told reporters he has not requested a trade and is focusing on the Cowboys game despite the speculation.
- If the Colts hold out for top draft capital, teams reported as suitors — including the Vikings, Giants, Bengals, Packers, Broncos and Seahawks — face a compressed negotiating window before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
