Indianapolis Colts Open to Trading Running Back Jonathan Taylor Amid Active Discussions

The Indianapolis Colts have shifted their stance and are now willing to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor. According to reports, discussions surrounding the star ball-carrier are active and ongoing.

Although prior reports indicated that team ownership was opposed to trading Taylor, the organization's current trajectory reflects a broader rebuild. While the Colts would still prefer to keep him as part of that rebuilding process, the franchise has opened the door further toward making a transaction happen.

In addition to Taylor's situation, wide receiver Josh Downs has also requested a trade. Reports note that his request may not be entirely necessary given that the organization is already active in trade talks.

A trade involving Taylor would create a major shift for both Indianapolis and any acquiring franchise, as the addition of the standout running back would immediately improve any team.
