5 destinations for Indianapolis Colts star RB
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor officially requested a trade from the team and even if owner Jim Irsay believes it won’t happen, there’s a strong chance a team deals for the star running back.
Taylor’s tenure with the Colts took an extremely sharp decline in the last few weeks of July. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Taylor was understandably seeking a new deal.
However, between the state of the running back market, his agent making negotiations public and Irsay continuing to comment on the situation, it appears the bridge has been burned between the two sides.
A trade will be difficult to pull off at max value for the Colts. No one is trading first-round picks for running backs anymore, and Taylor is coming off an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. He opened training camp on the active/PUP list despite passing his physical.
The other difficult part of this situation is that a team would be making this trade with the understanding of signing Taylor to a new contract or renting him for just one season.
While a trade is not obligated to happen, here are five teams the Colts could trade Taylor to
