The Colts Are Officially Shopping Jonathan Taylor (Again)
Adam Schefter reported that multiple teams have reached out and talks are active and ongoing.
The have officially reopened the trade sweepstakes, proving that time is a flat circle in the NFL. According to a joint report from Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis is actively fielding offers for their star running back, and multiple teams are already blowing up the phone lines.
We have been down this exact road before. Back in 2023, and the Colts engaged in a highly public staring contest that ended with no trade, a stint on the PUP list, and a whole lot of wasted fantasy football draft capital. Now, they are apparently ready to actually pull the trigger.
To be fair to whoever is making these calls, is still producing like a guy you want on your roster. Through the first chunk of the 2026 season, he has racked up 587 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 140 carries. He is the engine of an offense that just sputtered out in a brutal 16-10 loss to the last week.
Moving a running back with that kind of workload is always a massive gamble. For the betting markets, dropping a premium back into a new offense mid-season usually scrambles the futures odds for both teams involved. You are essentially betting on whether a guy can learn a playbook on a Tuesday and pass-block for a new quarterback on a Sunday.
The are scheduled to play the this weekend. Whether is wearing a horseshoe on his helmet, standing on the sideline in street clothes, or already packing his bags for a new city will tell us exactly how real these active talks actually are.
