Overview
- Team sources say the Colts have not opened formal trade discussions for Jonathan Taylor and plan to watch the next three games before deciding on any move.
- Multiple teams have expressed interest or explored the idea of a deal, with the Packers, Seahawks, Vikings and Broncos among the most frequently named suitors.
- Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million extension in August that keeps him under contract through 2028, a factor that will shape any trade structure and cost for a buyer.
- The firing of GM Chris Ballard and control of personnel by Ed Dodds has intensified talk that Indianapolis could sell veterans to recover draft capital it lacks because of prior trades.
- Taylor’s wife publicly acknowledged the uncertainty about his future, and the short window before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10 means any decision must be made quickly.
