Jonathan Taylor Hasn’t Asked for Trade, Isn’t Buying Into Talk of Colts’ ‘Rebuild'

  • With the NFL trade deadline approaching on Tuesday, November 10, Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor remains the subject of intense trade speculation as the 2-6 team considers offloading assets.
  • The franchise fired general manager Chris Ballard last month, then traded guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, signaling a shift toward stockpiling draft capital for the struggling roster.
  • Addressing the rumors on Thursday, Taylor acknowledged the "uncertainty," though he emphasized his focus remains on Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys rather than his potential exit from Indianapolis.
  • Beyond the backfield, wide receiver Josh Downs has also requested a trade, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers emerging as potential landing spots for the 25-year-old playmaker.
  • Personnel decision-maker Ed Dodds reportedly seeks a "Christian McCaffrey-type" package to move Taylor, suggesting the Colts may retain their best remaining asset if no team meets their high asking price.
