Jonathan Taylor opens up about his Colts trade stance as rumors swirl

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor addressed ongoing trade speculation on Thursday, confirming he has not requested a trade despite the team's recent roster changes. With the Colts sitting at 2-5, Taylor stated he remains proud to play for Indianapolis but acknowledged that potential trade deadline decisions are beyond his control. Taylor also noted that he had spoken with Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, though he declined to share any details of their discussion.

Taylor's comments come after Indianapolis traded veterans Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and DeForest Buckner to the 49ers. Under contract through the 2028 season, Taylor has reportedly drawn interest from the Packers, Seahawks, Broncos, and Vikings. Despite the team's struggles, the running back leads the NFL with eight rushing touchdowns and 587 rushing yards through seven games.
