NFL Analyst Explains Why Colts Should Wait Before Trading Jonathan Taylor

NFL Analyst Explains Why Colts Should Wait Before Trading Jonathan Taylor
World Sports · 05:44:37 - Monday, 9 November 2026

An NFL analyst has outlined reasons why the Indianapolis Colts should hold off on trading running back Jonathan Taylor, despite ongoing speculation about his future with the franchise. The analysis suggests that waiting could provide the team with better leverage and clarity on Taylor's value heading into the offseason.

The Colts' star running back has been the subject of trade rumors for months, but the analyst argues that Indianapolis gains little by moving him immediately. Taylor remains under contract and continues to be a focal point of the offense when healthy, making his trade value potentially higher after a full offseason of preparation.

Indianapolis faces decisions about its backfield composition and salary cap structure, but the analyst emphasizes that patience could yield a more favorable return if the Colts ultimately decide to move on from the former All-Pro runner.
