Jonathan Taylor says wife’s TikTok trade talk won’t affect his focus
Running back Jonathan Taylor downplayed recent trade speculation, noting his wife’s TikTok comments won’t change his approach on the field.
Running back Jonathan Taylor told reporters that trade rumors about him have already been circulating and that his wife Ayanna’s discussion of a possible move on TikTok does not alter his mindset. > "You know everybody’s on TikTok these days. So, you just have to come into work and stay focused," Taylor said.
Ayanna Taylor posted a TikTok video questioning the Indianapolis Colts’ situation, pointing out the team’s losing record, the recent firing of longtime general manager Chris Ballard and the lack of first-round draft picks. She asked how the franchise could attract new leadership without those assets.
Since Ballard’s dismissal, speculation about a trade for Taylor has intensified, with some analysts suggesting the Giants or Vikings could be interested. However, sources cited by journalist Jonathan Jones indicated that the Colts have not yet discussed a trade internally.
Taylor, who signed a two-year extension in August, continues to be a top fantasy running back despite a modest performance in recent games. The Colts’ coaching staff, including head coach Shane Steichen, has emphasized staying focused on the current season and has not indicated any imminent roster changes.
