Colts Will Not Trade Jonathan Taylor Before Deadline
ProFootballRumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will not be traded before Tuesday’s 3 p.m. CT trade deadline, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero.
- Despite a recent two-year, $44 million extension and trade rumors, Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has insisted on keeping Taylor, who is considered the face of the franchise.
- Several teams, including the Giants, Vikings, Packers, Broncos, Seahawks, and Chiefs, showed interest in Taylor, with some offering second-round picks and more, but the Colts sought a blockbuster deal similar to Christian McCaffrey’s 2022 trade package.
- While the Colts traded key players Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Keenan Allen, and Josh Downs ahead of the deadline, Taylor will remain with the struggling Colts, who currently hold a 2-7 record and are unlikely to make the playoffs.
