Jonathan Taylor is drawing trade interest from multiple NFL teams ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, with the Colts still deciding their direction following the firing of GM Chris Ballard after a 2-4 start.
Jonathan Taylor has been through this before. Trade rumors, front-office drama, whispers about a fresh start somewhere else. But the circumstances around this latest round feel different. The Colts fired general manager Chris Ballard following a Week 6 loss to Tennessee, leaving the franchise without a clear direction heading into the back half of the season. That front-office vacuum is what has made the Taylor conversation real again. Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis about the 27-year-old running back, according to ESPN, with the Nov. 10 trade deadline now nine days away.
Taylor Is Playing His Best Football
Whatever happens off the field, Taylor has been exceptional on it. Through six games he has 492 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns, tied for the most among running backs in the league entering Week 7. That production, combined with three Pro Bowl selections and a reputation as one of the cleanest runners in the game, is exactly what contenders are shopping for at this stage of the season. He signed a three-year extension with Indianapolis in August, so any acquiring team would be getting him under contract. That matters when teams start crunching what a first-round pick costs versus what they get back.
