New NFL Rumors on Colts' Decision to Keep Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones at 2026 Deadline

Multiple factors reportedly contributed to the Indianapolis Colts' decision to hang onto running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Daniel Jones through the trade deadline.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler, the Colts wanted a first-round pick or something equivalent in a trade for Taylor, and that offer never came through.

Regarding Jones, Fowler noted that the Colts are "much more comfortable" with him under center than Anthony Richardson Sr., and Graziano added that since none of his $38 million salary for 2027 becomes guaranteed until March, the Colts can still move on from him fairly easily after the season if they so choose.
