The Indianapolis Colts, currently 2-6 and on a four-game losing streak, are reportedly open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline. This potential move follows the team's earlier trades of two Pro Bowl players.
ESPN's Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported that the Colts are actively engaging with other teams regarding Taylor. Since the opening of prediction markets on October 20, over $1.3 million in volume has been traded concerning Taylor's next potential team.
Prediction markets on Kalshi indicate the Denver Broncos have a 29 percent chance of acquiring Taylor, followed by the Seattle Seahawks at 22 percent and the Minnesota Vikings at 17 percent. The Colts themselves are also listed at 17 percent, suggesting a possibility they retain him. The New York Giants are also in the mix, with 16 percent odds.
Several teams are seen as having a strong need for a running back of Taylor's caliber. The Packers, who rank last in the league in rushing yards per game, and the Broncos, who are 26th in rushing yards, have reportedly reached out to the Colts. The Seahawks' running attack has fallen to 18th in the league after losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker in the offseason, and Zach Charbonnet has just returned from injury.
Reports from The Post confirm the Giants' interest. Despite a solid running game, Taylor would represent a significant upgrade over their current backfield options. While the Colts could opt to keep Taylor past the trade deadline and explore offseason deals, trade rumors are intensifying.
