What happened: The Indianapolis Colts are open to trading running back Jonathan Taylor, according to multiple reports. Indianapolis discussed an asking price centered on a first-round draft pick and a defensive tackle earlier this week, per Josina Anderson. Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis regarding Taylor's availability ahead of the deadline.

Why it matters: Indianapolis has dropped three straight games to slide down the AFC standings, shifting front-office focus toward future assets. Trading Taylor would mark a significant structural shift in the backfield after his 18-touchdown campaign last season. A package returning premium draft capital and interior defensive help would address core roster needs as the Colts recalibrate.

By the numbers: The Colts sit 12th in the AFC with a 2-5 record on an active three-game losing streak, following a 16-10 defeat against Minnesota.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET as suitors consider Indianapolis' asking price.
