Jonathan Taylor trade rumor from Adam Schefter confirms Colts’ asking price
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts have shifted from keeping star RB Jonathan Taylor to openly fielding offers.

Teams reportedly interested include the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, each grappling with weak backfields. Taylor, an elite back with two contract years remaining, could fetch a McCaffrey‑type return, though a more modest haul seems probable.
