ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said he was shocked by what he has heard regarding a potential trade involving Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to a report from HITC on Friday.
Schefter, one of the league's most connected reporters, did not disclose specific details of the trade talks but indicated the developments caught him off guard. Taylor, a former All-Pro and one of the NFL's premier running backs, has been the subject of trade speculation in recent seasons amid contract disputes and the Colts' shifting offensive direction.
The Colts selected Taylor in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2021, earning first-team All-Pro honors. Indianapolis has not publicly confirmed any active trade discussions.
