Jonathan Taylor Offers Telling Answer About Possible Trade Request
The Colts are seeking a big draft-pick return for Taylor, who has 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns this season, ESPN reported.
- 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.
