Colts Keep Jonathan Taylor After NFL Trade Deadline

Jonathan Taylor will remain with the Indianapolis Colts after the team did not trade him before Tuesday’s deadline, despite reports of interest from multiple teams and an offer that reportedly included a second-round pick. Taylor called the trade rumors “water under the bridge,” said decisions about the team’s direction are above his pay grade, and urged the players to focus on execution and beating Miami. The 2-7 Colts have traded prominent players, including wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs, as the team appears to be entering a rebuild. Taylor is expected to remain central to the offense for now, though his longer-term future with Indianapolis remains uncertain.
