Four NFL teams interested in Jonathan Taylor trade from Colts

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 00:13 · Archive

The Indianapolis Colts are exploring trade options for All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. The Packers, Seahawks, Broncos and Vikings have contemplated acquiring the 27-year-old, who signed a two-year, $44 million extension during training camp. The Packers previously explored a trade in August 2023, when the Colts sought wide receiver Christian Watson and additional compensation.

The Colts' decision to put Taylor on the trading block comes after the team's disappointing 2-5 start and the recent firing of general manager Chris Ballard. Taylor remains productive this season, carrying the ball 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings, and has rushed for 492 yards and seven touchdowns overall, averaging four yards per carry.

Taylor acknowledged the trade rumours after Sunday's game but sought to downplay them. His wife, Ayanna, addressed the speculation on social media, commenting on the team's losing record and suggesting that previously untouchable players may now be available. Other Colts players reportedly available for trade include defensive tackle Deforest Buckner and offensive lineman Quentin Nelson.
