The Indianapolis Colts won’t trade running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, according to a report from The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero.
Multiple teams offered a second-round pick “and more” for Taylor, but the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer that never came. So the running back will remain in Indy.

Taylor (5-10, 226 pounds) was originally picked by the Colts in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Wisconsin. He’s earned three Pro Bowl selections and one first-team All-Pro nod since then. The 27-year-old running back led the NFL in rushing yards in 2021 and has twice led the league in rushing touchdowns (2021 and 2025).
Taylor has rushed 1,712 times for 8,254 yards and 77 touchdowns in 93 career games, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. He has also hauled in 213 receptions for 1,689 yards and seven more scores as a receiver out of the backfield.
Taylor has two years remaining on his contract after the 2026 campaign. His salary cap hit will be just over $16 million in 2027, and $17.98 million in 2028 before becoming a 30-year-old free agent in 2029.
