If the Indianapolis Colts are going to trade running back Jonathan Taylor, the organization might wait right up until the trade deadline arrives.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the "current belief in league circles is that the Colts will take the best offer that’s on the table as the deadline approaches at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday."
This approach will give the Colts the opportunity to compare every possible offer before making a decision.
That said, a number of recent reports suggest that the Colts could end up keeping Taylor as well.
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.
Elsewhere, The Ringer's Tom Pelissero said the Colts were Taylor's
"most likely destination" when all is said and done.
Albert Breer reported that the Colts are either searching for a first-round pick in return for Taylor or a Christian McCaffrey-like deal, when the 49ers sent 2023 second-, third-, and fourth-round picks, and a 2024 fifth-rounder to the Panthers.
Whether they get an offer like that or have to potentially settle for less remains to be seen. The Giants' original offer was reportedly taken "off the table," according to Jay Glazer, with the Colts' price needing to come down.
