After Colts’ Loss to Dallas, ‘Waiting Game’ Begins for Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs
Minnesota added a familiar quarterback to revive its offense, while Indianapolis kept Jonathan Taylor after receiving multiple trade offers, sources said.
- The Indianapolis Colts finalized their trade deadline strategy on Tuesday, trading veterans Keenan Allen and Josh Downs while retaining star running back Jonathan Taylor as they pivot toward a multi-year rebuild.
- Following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon and interim general manager Ed Dodds initiated the overhaul to accumulate draft assets while the team sits at 2-7.
- Indianapolis sent Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs for a fourth- and fifth-round pick, while Allen was traded to the San Francisco 49ers, clearing offensive depth as the team resets.
- Despite interest from the New York Giants, Taylor remains with the Colts under contract through 2028, though he previously expressed a desire to join a contender.
- While teams like the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears aggressively bolstered rosters, Indianapolis remains focused on accumulating draft capital for future seasons rather than competing in 2026.
