The Indianapolis Colts held onto star running back Jonathan Taylor at the NFL trade deadline on November 10, 2026, reportedly turning down multiple offers that included second-round draft picks.
Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2021 NFL rushing champion, has been the subject of trade speculation in recent seasons amid contract discussions and the Colts' evolving offensive strategy. Despite interest from other teams willing to part with premium draft capital, Indianapolis opted to keep the 25-year-old backfield centerpiece.
The decision signals the franchise's commitment to building around Taylor, who has rushed for over 5,000 yards and 43 touchdowns in his first five NFL seasons. With the trade deadline now passed, Taylor will remain with the Colts for the remainder of the 2026 season as Indianapolis pushes for a playoff berth in the AFC South.
