Other NFL teams are interested in a few different Indianapolis Coltsplayers ahead of the trade deadline. However, the Colts' plan, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, is to wait until after Sunday's game with Dallas before making any decisions -- that is unless any big offers come in.
"The Colts have received plenty of calls on several players, including Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, Grover Stewart and others," Schultz posted on X. "But the belief around the league is that, barring an offer that blows them away, Indianapolis plans to wait until after Sunday’s game vs the Cowboys before revisiting the offers on the table and making the trades that make sense on Monday and Tuesday ahead of the deadline."

This report from Schultz echoes what Ian Rapoport reported, saying that current trade talks involving Jonathan Taylor were at a "standstill."
Rapoport added that the Colts are looking for a Christian McCaffrey-type deal, referencing when the Panthers acquired second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks from San Francisco in 2022.
And as we've heard from the start, Rapoport mentioned again that the Colts don't feel like they have to move Taylor and are willing to build around him moving forward.
Josh Downs, Grover Stewart, and perhaps Mo Alie-Cox are other trade candidates for the Colts.
The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 10.
