Stampede Blue on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor is available via trade, but it would take a significant draft capital haul for the franchise to part with its last remaining key veteran pillar
STACKED’s take
Taylor available via trade but Colts demand first-round pick; rejected second-round offer
Jonathan Taylor is available via trade but the Colts are holding firm on a premium asking price—at least a first-round pick, similar to the Christian McCaffrey trade haul (2023 second-, third-, and fourth-round picks plus 2024 fifth-rounder). The Colts rejected an initial offer of a 2027 second-round pick plus additional pick. Taylor, 27, just signed a two-year, $44 million extension in August; he is due $4.866 million for the rest of this season and his $15 million 2027 base salary becomes fully guaranteed five days after the Super Bowl. The source notes the Colts are taking calls but not actively shopping Taylor, with owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon viewing him as a potential major piece of the rebuild.
