• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Logs 12 touches in potential swan song

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in four of five targets for 24 yards in the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. Taylor opened the game in his usual starting role with trade rumors swirling around him, and the star running back ultimately finished with a wholly unremarkable performance. Taylor ultimately ceded plenty of snaps to backfield mates Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens, the likeliest heir-apparent candidates if Taylor is indeed moved to another team in coming days. Taylor had exceeded 90 rushing yards in back-to-back games and on five occasions overall heading into Week 8, so even if his Colts tenure finishes with Sunday's whimper, he'll have plenty to offer in a new destination.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: May soon be on the move

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  The Colts are fielding trade offers for Taylor, and while the asking price currently appears to be "too high," a deal seems likely to happen, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday morning that the Colts are willing to trade Taylor, but Schultz's report includes a new wrinkle, namely that a trade is more likely than not to occur. The Vikings, Giants, Broncos, Bengals and Packers are among the teams mentioned by Schultz that have checked in with Indianapolis regarding the seventh-year pro, who has looked like his usual dynamic self this season with 765 yards from scrimmage and eight rushing TDs on 157 touches in seven contests.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Trade talks heating up

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor is being made available via trade by the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Taylor himself was not requesting a trade earlier in the week, but Indianapolis' recent flurry of moves opened the possibility that the star running back would also be moved in the team's teardown before a rebuild. The Colts moved on from Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner and got significant draft capital from the Seahawks and 49ers in return. Now a market is forming for Taylor, 27, who could help put a contender over the top. Per Schefter, the Colts are seeking a deal similar to what the Panthers got in 2022 when they traded Christian McCaffrey.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Hasn't requested trade

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor told reporters Thursday that he hasn't requested a trade out of Indianapolis, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. "I haven't heard anything, and I can't control that," Taylor said regarding the possibility of being traded. "Obviously, you guys know that I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe, proud to be here." The 2-5 Colts have gone into sell mode after firing GM Chris Ballard. Indianapolis traded away guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to Seattle and San Francisco, respectively, but both of those players are on expiring contracts. Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million extension with the Colts in August, so the team may not feel as much urgency to trade him, and the star running back confirmed he hasn't requested a trade. Several teams have reportedly inquired about Taylor's availability.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Carries offense in Week 7 loss

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings. The Colts managed only 218 yards of offense in total, and Taylor had nearly as many rushing yards as Daniel Jones had passing yards. Taylor also scored his team's only TD on a 38-year-old dash in the first quarter. The star RB is still looking for his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season, but he's topped 90 yards in five of seven games and has produced 100-plus scrimmage yards four times while racking up eight scores on the ground. Taylor will face another tough run defense in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.
