The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly open to trading running back Jonathan Taylor. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport indicate that trade talks are ongoing and the Colts are seeking a trade package similar to the one the San Francisco 49ers secured for Christian McCaffrey in 2022. This comes after the Colts rejected a trade offer that included a second-round pick in 2027. Taylor has recorded 587 yards and eight rushing touchdowns this season, although he has yet to have a 100-yard game. He has reached 90 yards in five of his seven appearances this year.
