Many eyes are on the Indianapolis Colts ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
Star running back Jonathan Taylor's name has been swirling in rumors for weeks, but the Colts are reportedly trading another player away with multiple Pro Bowl nods to his credit.
Multiple reports said Tuesday afternoon that Indianapolis was sending veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a future sixth-round draft pick.

Allen is in first season with Indianapolis after signing with the club in mid-August.
The six-time Pro Bowler has been a focal part of the Colts offense in 2026 with fellow wideout Alec Pierce limited to two games this season due to injury.
Allen leads Indianapolis in targets (58) and receptions (40) this year while ranking second in receiving yards (351) as well, despite missing one contest.
...
The longtime former member of the Los Angeles Chargers will join an injury-ravaged wide receivers' room in San Francisco, with pass-catchers Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans both currently nursing ailments. Christian Kirk and rookie wideout De'Zhaun Stribling are also still on injured reserve, and 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall is out for the season.
The move may give Allen his long-awaited shot at a Super Bowl ring as well.
Through his time with the Chargers, plus the 2024 campaign with the Chicago Bears, he's played in just six playoff games and has never advanced past the divisional round.
The Niners enter Week 10 tied with the Buffalo Bills for the best record in football at 7-1.
Tuesday's trade continues a fire sale for Indianapolis, as the Colts also recently shipped out DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson.
NFL fans will find out soon if the likes of Taylor, wide receiver Josh Downs and quarterback Daniel Jones could be joining Allen on his way out of Indianapolis.
