Colts Weigh Trading Jonathan Taylor Before Nov. 10 Deadline

Owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon has signaled she will only move Taylor for premium draft compensation while interim personnel chief Ed Dodds evaluates the team over a short three‑game stretch.

Overview

  • Sources reported Sunday that the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings have pondered or are expected to consider offers for Jonathan Taylor.
  • The Colts have not declared Taylor available and plan to use results from games against Minnesota, Jacksonville and Dallas to decide whether to sell before the Nov. 10 deadline.
  • Taylor signed a two‑year, $44 million extension this offseason, which makes a trade possible but creates meaningful 2027–28 salary and cap obligations for any acquiring team.
  • Owner Irsay‑Gordon is said to view Taylor as a cornerstone and would seek premium draft picks in return, a stance shaped by Indianapolis lacking its 2027 first‑round pick.
  • Public attention rose after a viral social post by Taylor’s wife and Taylor’s own measured response, but he has emphasized staying focused while the franchise completes its short evaluation.
