Following the Indianapolis Colts' loss to the Dallas Cowboys, it sure sounded like RB Jonathan Taylor said his goodbye to fans and the organization.
"I think you play every game like it's your last, but at the end of the day this has been a spot where I grew up," Taylor said, via CBS Sports. "I think I mentioned this to you guys — like you go to college, you're a young man, but you really grew up, you started a family and you really embraced this city, the people, and you're just like … this place helped shape me into the man I am today. If it is [my last game], I'm very grateful for the city of Indianapolis."
"I appreciate them and it was a pleasure to put on display all of not only my hard work, but the team's hard work."@ADChernoff asked Jonathan

Whether a trade is imminent as the deadline draws closer remains to be seen. In fact, recent reports make it unclear as to whether or not Taylor will actually be dealt.
According to ESPN's Giants beat reporter, Jordan Raanan, at this point, it would be a "surprise" if Taylor ends up in New York.
The Ringer's Tom Pelissero said the Colts were Taylor's "most likely destination" when all is said and done.
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.
Those are the latest examples of uncertainty around Taylor's future. That said, as the old saying goes, deadlines spur action, and the Colts have to decide if they'd rather have Taylor be a part of the upcoming rebuild or acquire draft capital as roster construction fuel.
"I just hope that they appreciate and know that I appreciate them and it was a pleasure to put on display not only my hard work but the team's hard work each and every single week, each and every single year," Taylor said. "Just know it was a pleasure."
