Major Jonathan Taylor Update…Is He About To Be Traded?

Colts have given permission to RB Jonathan Taylor to seek trade
Nearly one month after Jonathan Taylor requested a trade, the running back moved one step closer to having it fulfilled.

The Indianapolis Colts have given Taylor permission to seek a trade, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Conversations regarding potential landing spots are ongoing, with the Colts informing several player personnel executives of Taylor’s availability via trade, per Rapoport.

Indy is expected to want more than the San Francisco 49ers received from the Carolina Panthers for Christian McCaffrey, which was second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round selections, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported. So, initiating a trade won’t come easy for Taylor and Co.

Taylor initially requested a trade following a meeting with Colts owner Jim Irsay, and has spent the entirety of the preseason on the physically unable to perform list after having offseason ankle surgery. Once he returned to camp after a brief absence, the running back remained on the team’s physically unable to perform list. He was later excused from camp for a second time due to a personal matter. But the crux of the matter relates to Taylor’s contract situation.

The only way this trade gets done is if one of these contenders decides to go all-in and risk their future for a title this season. We would be shocked to see a non-contender trade a bunch of picks for Taylor.
