NFL Network: Colts willing to trade RB Jonathan Taylor; talks are active, ongoing

Key Points:

• The Indianapolis Colts are open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor, with multiple teams, including the Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants, and Seahawks, expressing interest according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter.
• Despite initial reluctance from Colts ownership to trade Taylor, the team is embracing a trade deadline seller approach amid a disappointing 2-5 start and recent roster moves such as trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner.
• Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowler with 587 rushing yards and eight touchdowns this season, recently signed a two-year, $44 million extension, making him a valuable, long-term asset rather than a short-term rental.
• The potential trade of Taylor would mark a significant change for both the Colts and the acquiring team, given his prime performance and high contract value through 2028.
• Taylor has acknowledged the possibility of a trade while expressing pride in playing for Indianapolis, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team.
