What happened: The Indianapolis Colts are evaluating trade interest in running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline after already trading Quenton Nelson and Deforest Buckner. Multiple suitors, including the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, and New York Giants, have explored potential deals. Indianapolis is seeking compensation equivalent to a first-round draft pick to move the 27-year-old rusher.

Why it matters: Indianapolis sits at 2-6 following a 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and lacks its own 2027 first-round pick, accelerating pressure toward an organizational reset. While Taylor remains under contract through 2028, trading him would clear future financial commitments while stocking draft capital for an impending rebuild.

By the numbers: Taylor has run 148 times for 610 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives on Nov. 10, when Indianapolis front office must decide whether to retain Taylor or finalize an agreement with a contending suitor.
