Taylor said he's thankful for his time in Indianapolis.
"You play every game like it's your last, but at the end of the day, this has been a spot where I grew up," Taylor said. "I think I mentioned this to you guys. Like you go to college, you're a young man, but like you really grew up.
"You started a family, and you really embraced this city, the people, and you're just like this place helped shape me into the man I am today. So I'm very grateful. So, if it is (the end with the Colts), I'm like, I'm very grateful for the city of Indianapolis."
Taylor rushed 13 times for 46 yards on Sunday. He added five receptions for 18 yards.
The Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers, and Giants have been linked to Taylor in recent weeks. Soon, a mature Taylor could have an opportunity to chase a Super Bowl in a new city.
