Jonathan Taylor’s Uncertain Future with the Colts

Jonathan Taylor, the star running back of the Indianapolis Colts, is witnessing his team’s struggles firsthand. After a 27-23 defeat to Dallas, the Colts find themselves with a disappointing 2-7 record and a five-game losing streak.

As the only Pro Bowl player in a faltering offense, Taylor is becoming increasingly aware of the situation. The trade deadline is approaching, and the Colts appear to be ready to make significant changes.

“I think you play every game like it’s your last, but at the end of the day this has been a spot where I grew up,” Taylor remarked, hinting at a possible farewell.

Taylor’s performance has been exceptional. He claimed the NFL rushing title in 2021 with more than 1,800 yards and 18 touchdowns. In 2025, he replicated his success with nearly 1,600 rushing yards.

Despite his accomplishments, Taylor’s future with the Colts remains uncertain. The New York Giants expressed interest and offered second- and fifth-round picks, but hesitated when the Colts demanded a first-round pick. Teams like Denver and Cincinnati are also potential suitors.

The Colts have already made significant changes, parting ways with GM Chris Ballard and key players like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Taylor is still under contract through 2028, giving the Colts some bargaining power.

If no agreement is reached by Tuesday’s trade deadline, Taylor will remain with the Colts, continuing to carry an offense struggling to find success.
