Colts Keep Jonathan Taylor Despite Trade Interest

The Colts will retain Jonathan Taylor, their star running back, after considering trade interest ahead of the NFL deadline. The decision, reported on November 10, ends speculation that Taylor could be sent to the New York Giants or another contender.

Interested teams offered Indianapolis a second-round selection along with additional picks. The Colts were seeking a much larger package, and did not accept the offers made for Taylor.

Indianapolis had already made several significant moves as its 2026 season faltered, trading Quenton Nelson to Seattle and sending DeForest Buckner and Keenan Allen to San Francisco. Quarterback Daniel Jones had also been viewed as a possible trade candidate. Taylor, however, was not among the players the Colts dealt before the deadline.
