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.
