The Indianapolis Colts are not trading superstar running back Jonathan Taylor before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline, according to a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Taylor was the hottest name on the 2026 trade market as the Colts sold off several major pieces, but the seventh-year running back is staying put in Indianapolis.
The Colts reportedly rejected multiple offers featuring second-round draft picks and more.

"Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy," Pelissero reported.
"The Colts were clear all along they would listen on Jonathan Taylor, but would want a lot to make a move," he continued. "Now the new GM can make a decision on Taylor's future after the season."
Taylor rushed for just 46 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, coughing up a critical fumble down the stretch. When speaking to reporters postgame, he sent a farewell message to Colts fans in case that was his last game in an Indianapolis uniform.
"I think 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, via CBS. "I think I mentioned this to you guys — like you go to college, you're a young man, but 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. If it is [my last game], I'm very grateful for the city of Indianapolis.
"I just hope that they appreciate and know that I appreciate them and it was a pleasure to put on display not only my hard work but the team's hard work each and every single week, each and every single year," he added. "Just know it was a pleasure."

Taylor and the Colts, who've lost each of their last five games, will now put the trade deadline in the rearview mirror and turn their attention toward a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
