What happened: Several NFL clubs are open to acquiring Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. It remains uncertain whether Indianapolis is ready to become a trade-deadline seller after parting ways with general manager Chris Ballard.

Why it matters: Taylor joins veterans DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson at the center of trade chatter as Indianapolis weighs its roster direction. The 3-3 Seahawks have already been floated as a potential backfield fit ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL cutoff.

What to watch: Indianapolis prepares for its upcoming matchup against Minnesota while rival front offices monitor whether the franchise opens trade talks.
