Schefter Expects Colts to Trade Jonathan Taylor, 27, After Deadline Hold

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Nov 11

Summary

  • Jonathan Taylor stayed with Indianapolis through Tuesday's trade deadline, but Adam Schefter said he would not be surprised if the Colts move the 27-year-old running back in the offseason.
  • No team met owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon's asking price, leaving Taylor to finish 2026 with a club Schefter described as starting over and an awkward fit for a veteran back.
  • Indianapolis still dealt Keenan Allen and Josh Downs on deadline day, adding mid-to-late-round draft capital while stopping short of a full teardown.
  • The Colts now head toward the 2027 draft without a first-round pick, holding an extra third-rounder, two fourths, and one pick each in the fifth and sixth rounds.
