What happened: An NFL executive warned that Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon risks losing the locker room amid active trade talks involving Jonathan Taylor. The front office continues fielding inquiries for the star running back as the franchise navigates internal pressure during a midseason slump.

Why it matters: Indianapolis has dropped three consecutive games to fall to 2-5, sitting 12th in the AFC standings. Parting with Taylor would dramatically shift an offense that relied on him for 1,585 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.

By the numbers: Taylor: 1,585 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns on 323 carries in 2025. Colts: 2-5 record, 12th in AFC, coming off a 16-10 loss to Minnesota.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET as Indianapolis weighs offers against its asking price of a first-round pick and a defensive tackle.
