Jonathan Taylor addresses trade rumors amid Colts’ fire sale: ‘Hopefully that day may not come’

Jonathan Taylor says he has not requested a trade and hopes to remain with the Indianapolis Colts, while acknowledging that any decision is beyond his control. His comments come as the team trades established players and speculation grows over whether it will continue reshaping its roster.

The Colts traded All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle for 2027 and 2028 draft picks, then sent three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco for a 2027 fourth-round pick. Receiver Josh Downs has reportedly requested a trade, and Taylor is under contract after signing a two-year, $44 million extension in August. The 27-year-old has 587 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in seven games, and the trade deadline is 10 November.
