With the NFL trade deadline less than 24 hours away, running back Jonathan Taylor surfaces once again in active league chatter.
FOX Sports reported that the Indianapolis Colts sit at 2-7 after already parting ways with Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, positioning their star running back as the biggest name on the market with a real chance to be dealt by Tuesday afternoon.
Taylor offered what sounded like a heartfelt goodbye to fans on Sunday, stating, I’m very grateful for the city of Indianapolis.
That prospective exit stems from a steep franchise decline. At this time last year, the Indianapolis Colts held one of the best records in the NFL and acquired Sauce Gardner for two first-round picks. FOX Sports reported that since that 2025 trade deadline, the Colts have gone 3-14, marking the second-worst record in the league over that stretch.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Taylor remains favored to stay in Indy according to Oddschecker odds. FOX Sports records show that over 93 regular-season games since joining the Colts in 2020, Taylor has accumulated 8,254 rushing yards and 77 touchdowns, registering an average of 4.82 yards per attempt.
During that same timeframe, he places second among all NFL running backs in total carries, rushing scores, and ground yards—surpassed only by Derrick Henry in every metric—alongside 213 catches for 1,689 receiving yards.
Potential destinations line up closely behind the favorite. FOX Sports reported that the Patriots hold the best odds to land Taylor in a trade with TreVeyon Henderson sidelined, followed by the Giants, who have managed multiple backfield injuries without showing full confidence in Cam Skattebo.
The Vikings sit atop the NFC despite offensive struggles, while the Packers maintain one of the league’s top offenses despite averaging the fewest rushing yards per game.
Where Taylor lands by Tuesday afternoon could alter the entire Super Bowl outlook.
