The Indianapolis Colts' fire sale at the 2026 NFL trade deadline may not include their starting quarterback, but the focus will be on veteran running back Jonathan Taylor, who said a heartfelt goodbye on Sunday in case he was dealt before Tuesday.
But will Taylor be traded as the Colts try to restart and rebuild? There's been a bunch of rumors and reports about what Indy is looking for and what offers might have been made, and perhaps by the time you read this, there will be even more info (or even a trade that sends Taylor to a contender).
Here's the latest that we know about Taylor as the 2026 NFL trade deadline approaches:
The Giants had an offer for Jonathan Taylor but pulled it
The 5-2-1 Giants need help at running back if they want to win the NFC East, so Taylor is a fit. There was a Fox Sports
report that New York offered a second-round pick and a fifth-rounder for Taylor but head coach John Harbaugh said an offer had been pulled.
That didn't necessarily mean the Giants are out on Taylor, but perhaps that the game is being played by both sides as the Giants wait to see if the price comes down or if the Colts can get more. We'll see.
The Colts will take "best offer" for Jonathan Taylor
From 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.
So it sounds like the Colts will deal him, it's just a question of where.
