The Indianapolis Colts won't be trading running back Jonathan Taylor, according to Tom Pelissero.
"Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor," Pelissero posted on X. "But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy."
While a week ago it felt like a given that the Colts would trade Taylor, as the trade deadline drew nearer, that began to feel less and less likely.
ESPN's Stephen Holder posted on Tuesday morning that it would take a "significant shift" for Taylor to be traded.
Pelissero also reported over the weekend that the "most likely destination" for the Colts running back is Indianapolis.
Ian Rapoport recently reported that the Colts don't feel like they have to move Taylor and
are willing to build around him moving forward.
With Taylor still under contract through the 2028 season, trading him at the deadline was likely never viewed as a must by the organization -- if needed, that can be done down the road -- even as they enter a rebuild.
"The Colts were clear all along they would listen on Jonathan Taylor, but would want a lot to make a move," Pelissero added. "Now the new GM can make a decision on Taylor's future after the season."
