## Key points

- Nick Foles says Taylor deserves a move to a contender if traded.
- Indianapolis is rebuilding and reportedly seeking a high draft-pick return.
- The Giants, Broncos and Vikings have been linked to interest.

## Summary

Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Nick Foles says that if the rebuilding team trades All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor, it should send him to a contender. Foles said he would prefer to keep Taylor as a teammate, but understands the business case for seeking valuable draft picks.

The 27-year-old Taylor is reportedly available alongside quarterback Daniel Jones and receiver Josh Downs, with the Colts said to want a steep return comparable to the picks San Francisco gave up for Christian McCaffrey. Taylor is under contract through the 2028 season, which could appeal to teams seeking help beyond this year; the New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings have been linked to interest. The trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
