Overview
- With the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaching the Colts are publicly insisting they “don’t need to move” Jonathan Taylor and have rejected offers that sources say included a 2027 second-round pick plus additional assets.
- Multiple outlets report the New York Giants are the most aggressive suitor because of recent injuries to Tyrone Tracy Jr. and day-to-day status for Cam Skattebo, which have left New York thin at running back.
- League insiders place Indianapolis’s asking price between a second-round pick plus another pick and the equivalent of a first-round pick, a range driven by Taylor’s multi-year contract that runs through 2028.
- A group of playoff contenders including the Vikings, Broncos, Packers and Seahawks have checked in on Taylor, but roster, cap and missing mid-round pick issues, especially for the Giants, complicate deal construction.
- If the Colts get the draft capital they want they will likely trade Taylor before Nov. 10, but if offers don’t match their price they could keep him and use his contract leverage while continuing their broader roster reset.
