From the article

The Colts are listening to offers for star Running Back Jonathan Taylor, despite him not requesting a trade like other Colts mid-2026 season. The Colts are reportedly valuing Taylor highly and there is a strong market for the 2025 NFL leader in Total Touchdowns from scrimmage, as teams look for him to be a final piece for a deep playoff run. The Colts want a Round 1 pick (2027 or 2028, hasn't been specified) as well as a defensive tackle.

Colts demand 1st-rounder + DT for Taylor; 2025 TD leader valued as playoff piece.

The Colts are listening to trade offers for Taylor despite him not requesting a trade; he is the 2025 NFL leader in Total Touchdowns from scrimmage and the Colts are valuing him highly with a strong market for him as teams seek a final piece for playoff runs. The Colts have already turned down a 2027 second-round pick plus an additional pick, making clear they want a premium; their asking price is a 1st-round pick (2027 or 2028) plus a defensive tackle. Taylor is under contract through 2028 and is still only 27 years old, giving the Colts flexibility to keep him or trade him in the 2026 offseason if no midseason offer blows them away.
