Rebuild Takes Shape
The Colts have parted ways with several key contributors in recent months and now sit at 2-6. Their defense ranks 30th in points allowed per game at 27.8, yards per play at 5.9 and yards per rush at 4.9. Further departures have left the roster thin, and the organization has shifted toward acquiring selections rather than retaining veterans.
Taylor's Standing and Future
Jonathan Taylor holds the franchise mark with 77 rushing touchdowns and ranks among the league leaders in explosive runs of 10-plus yards. Yet by 2028 he would be 29½ years old after significant mileage. The team has already received an offer that included a second-round pick and an additional selection for him.
Need for More Picks
The Colts lack a long-term starting quarterback and face multiple roster gaps. Trades of other players have netted only mid-round choices from the third to fifth rounds. A higher-value return for Taylor could supply the additional selections required to address those needs during the rebuild.
