Jonathan Taylor confirmed he has not requested a trade despite the Colts' ongoing roster overhaul, but acknowledged that "any and all changes are possible." "I haven't heard anything, and I can't control that," Taylor said. "Obviously, you guys know that I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe, proud to be here."
The uncertainty echoes what happened with guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle De Forest Buckner, who were traded to the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. "It was all speculation until stuff started happening," Taylor said. "Those guys are the gold standard of the NFL. And obviously the business side of things, that's where it sucks at. I wish some way, somehow, I could have done more, because I wanted to win for those guys."
Despite the 2-5 start in 2026, Taylor remains focused on the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "You think we're rebuilding?" he asked. "For me, being a competitor ... no one goes out there to wave the white flag. We're going out there to compete. We're going out there to get a W."
Taylor, who signed a contract extension in August through the 2028 season, continues to draw trade interest. He recently spoke with principal owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, though details were not disclosed. Having navigated a contract standoff in 2023, Taylor understands the business side of football.
