The Indianapolis Colts are in 'active and ongoing' trade talks to trade running back Jonathan Taylor after a 2-5 start to the season.

The Indianapolis Colts are in 'active and ongoing' trade talks over running back Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN. The talks come as the team pursues a fire sale following a 2-5 start to the season and the recent departure of general manager Chris Ballard. The Colts have already traded All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks and defensive lineman DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers.

Taylor, 27, is a three-time Pro Bowler with substantial NFL credentials. He led the league in rushing yards in 2021 and scored 18 rushing touchdowns last year. He has 8,185 career rushing yards, the second-most in Colts history. He is on a reasonable contract with base salaries of $15 million next year and $9.46 million in 2028.

The Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks have all been named as teams that have expressed interest in Taylor. Taylor reportedly met with Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon this week regarding his future. Though the owner would prefer Taylor to remain part of the rebuild, the Colts are reportedly seeking a substantial haul for him, comparable to the draft picks the San Francisco 49ers sent to Carolina for running back Christian McCaffrey in 2022.
