The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly willing to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor, according to a report from SB Nation on Saturday. The news signals a potential major shift for the franchise and one of the NFL's most productive rushers.
Taylor, who has been the centerpiece of Indianapolis' offense since being drafted in 2020, has rushed for over 3,800 yards and 33 touchdowns in his first four seasons. The 25-year-old earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2021 after leading the league with 1,811 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns.
Trade speculation has surrounded Taylor since contract extension talks stalled earlier this year. The Colts placed him on the physically unable to perform list to start the 2023 season amid the dispute, though he eventually returned and played 10 games.
Any deal for Taylor would likely command significant draft capital given his age, production, and the relative scarcity of elite running backs in the current market. The report did not specify which teams have expressed interest or what compensation Indianapolis is seeking.
