Trade Interest Builds
The Colts have signaled openness to moving running back Jonathan Taylor, with several clubs already in active discussions. Teams expressing interest include the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks.
Contract Details and Value
Taylor remains under contract for 2027 at $15 million and 2028 at $9.46 million after receiving a $15 million signing bonus. The Colts seek a compensation package comparable to the second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round picks previously sent for a comparable back. Recent roster moves reflect a broader shift toward acquiring selections rather than retaining high salaries.
Recent Activity and Outlook
Indianapolis has already traded Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson and Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for a 2027 third-round pick, a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Separate talks have occurred around wide receiver Josh Downs, whom the team values at a third-round pick but prefers to retain. Both Taylor and Downs are expected to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor leads the franchise with 77 rushing touchdowns and sits second in rushing yards with 8,185 while entering the matchup with 587 rushing yards and eight scores this season.
