NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts may receive a last-minute trade offer for running back Jonathan Taylor, with the team reportedly seeking a high draft pick compensation similar to what the Panthers received for Christian McCaffrey in 2023; however, no deal has been finalized as of now.
- Taylor’s recent performance has been underwhelming amid trade rumors, and while multiple teams including the Vikings, Giants, and Broncos have shown interest, none have met the Colts' asking price yet.
- The Giants appear to have stepped back from pursuing Taylor, content with their current running backs, while the Colts remain focused on maximizing draft capital in rebuilding efforts.
- Despite trade speculation, Taylor played in Week 9 and has not requested a trade, with the Colts emphasizing their commitment to upcoming games and maintaining his fantasy value for now.
- In other NFL news, several Buccaneers and Bears players had mixed performances in Week 9, with injuries impacting key players like Bears’ Luther Burden, who left the game with a potential concussion after a solid outing.
