The NFL trade deadline has passed, and Jonathan Taylor remains a member of the Indianapolis Colts despite heavy trade speculation.
Over the previous week, even Taylor was uncertain of what the future would hold. But now, still with the Colts, he's focused on Miami.
"Just regular schedule programming," said Taylor, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. "It's all water under the bridge now."
Taylor was then asked if he was willing to be a part of the upcoming rebuild.
"Moves have already been made, it's time to go win against Miami, baby," he said.

Taylor has remained productive this season, rushing for 656 yards -- the eighth-most in the NFL
-- but big plays have been tougher to come by this year. He's averaging a modest 4.1 yards per rush attempt and ranks 23rd in PFF's breakaway rate metric.
In part, that is a product of the Colts' struggling passing game. Without a vertical threat, defenses can shrink the field and play closer to the line of scrimmage. The pass game woes also put more focus on Taylor.
Moving forward, with the wide receiver room now depleted following the trade deadline moves, it's not going to get any easier for Taylor and the run game.
