Schefter: Colts owner doesn't want to trade Taylor
Key Points:
- Colts ownership currently does not want to trade running back Jonathan Taylor, viewing him as a key difference-maker despite ongoing trade rumors amid the team's struggles and recent GM firing.
- The Colts face a challenging rebuild without a 2027 first-round pick, and while Taylor is seen as a franchise pillar, his age and contract situation complicate long-term plans; other players like DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson might be considered for trade.
- Taylor remains a top fantasy RB1 despite some recent tough matchups and offensive line issues limiting his production, and teams like the Giants and Vikings have shown interest if he becomes available.
- The Bears signed RB Zavier Scott to their active roster due to Kyle Monangai’s uncertain status, while the Bengals placed Erick All on injured reserve with a suspected third ACL tear, casting doubt on his future.
- The 49ers plan to continue starting kicker Eddy Pineiro despite his recent struggles, with GM John Lynch expressing confidence in Pineiro’s long-term value and opting to give him more opportunities before considering alternatives.
