The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor before the NFL's November 10 trade deadline, according to a report from Yahoo Sports on October 31, 2026.
Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2021 NFL rushing champion, has been the centerpiece of the Colts' offense since being drafted in 2020. The 25-year-old running back signed a three-year, $42 million contract extension in 2023 that made him one of the highest-paid players at his position.
The potential availability of Taylor comes as the Colts navigate a transitional period. Indianapolis entered the 2026 season with playoff aspirations but has faced challenges that may prompt a roster reassessment ahead of the deadline.
Any trade for Taylor would likely command significant draft capital given his production and age. The running back has rushed for over 5,000 yards and 45 touchdowns in his first six NFL seasons when healthy.
The November 10 deadline marks the final opportunity for NFL teams to make trades during the 2026 season. Several contending teams in need of backfield help could emerge as potential suitors if the Colts decide to move their franchise running back.
