Jonathan Taylor, running back for the Indianapolis Colts, is under speculation for a potential trade request as the 2026 NFL season progresses. CBS Sports has listed Taylor among five players who could seek a trade 'in Giannis-like fashion.' Taylor has been one of the most productive running backs of the 2020s but faces disappointing playoff results. As he enters the final year of his contract, the Colts' lack of playoff success might prompt him to consider his options if the team starts poorly this season. Recent injuries to key players also add pressure, with predictions suggesting a trade request may happen by the NFL trade deadline in October 2026.
- •Taylor has 7,598 career rushing yards, second to Derrick Henry.
- •He produced 1,585 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025.
- •The Colts have made only one playoff appearance since 2020.
- •Taylor is in the final year of a three-year, $42 million contract.
