“The Indianapolis Colts have given Taylor until Tuesday to find a suitable trade after authorizing the star running back earlier this week to engage with other teams in search of a trade partner,” Holder writes.
“Six teams have inquired about Taylor’s availability and two have engaged the Colts with actual trade offers, a source told ESPN on Wednesday.”
Tuesday is a big deal league-wide, as it is the day in which teams are mandated to trim their rosters down to 53 active players. The Colts will want to see who they will have available for the 2023 regular season—and if that will eventually include Taylor in their backfield:
This is perhaps obvious, but regarding Jonathan Taylor:
Next Tuesday, Aug. 29, is a key date regardless of what happens on the trade front. Final roster cuts means players on the active/PUP list must either be activated or moved to reserve/PUP and miss 4 weeks. FYI.

Is a deal going to be done by Tuesday? Time will tell.
