Colts coach confirms Jonathan Taylor stays on roster amid trade talks
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said running back Jonathan Taylor remains on the Indianapolis roster, even as trade talks continue. Steichen made the comment as the deadline approached, noting that the player is still under contract. Colts officials indicated they were willing to trade Taylor, initially seeking at least a second-round pick and later raising the demand to a first-round selection.
NFL sources said the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings were the most active suitors, while betting odds showed the Denver Broncos leading the market. Reports also suggested the team might include a cornerback and a veteran receiver in a broader deal. The club has maintained a high asking price and has not signaled any willingness to lower its demands before the trade deadline.
