Colts rumors: 5-6 teams ‘aggressively’ pursuing Jonathan Taylor before trade deadline

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, five to six teams are aggressively pursuing Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the trade deadline. Schultz named the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, and Minnesota Vikings as the interested suitors, noting that Taylor is reportedly open to a fresh start elsewhere via a permanent trade.

Schultz indicated that securing Taylor would require at least a second-round pick plus additional compensation, though another report suggests Indianapolis seeks a major package similar to the Christian McCaffrey trade. Taylor has rushed for 610 yards and eight touchdowns through eight games this season following trades of veterans DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson.
