The whole “will they? Won’t they?” storyline between the Indianapolis Colts and their star running back Jonathan Taylor has turned into one of the most boring telenovela storylines in the history of soap operas: everyone has an opinion, someone is always crying in the corner, a dramatic speech is delivered and there is always someone who is two seconds away from being tossed down the stairs or out the door.
On Sunday following the Colts 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at home in Lucas Oil Stadium, Taylor made, what sounded like, a goodbye speech to his team after completed 13 carries for 46 yards.
ESPN’s CollegeDay analyst and former Colts punter Pat McAfee (who has been so extremely vocal about the Taylor trade that he might as well be the telenovela itself. Probably the person gasping every six seasons in the background) expressed his opinion on Monday morning on “The Pat McAfee Show” when speaking with NFL insider Adam Schefter.

With most speaking about how a trade would benefit the three-time Pro Bowler and also be good for the Colts franchise, McAfee believes that the team should hold firm on their asking price of a first pick for the 27-year-old since Indianapolis doesn’t have a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Warning: Please do not be playing a drinking game where you do a shot every time McAfee says “building” – you will end up in the emergency room from your liver imploding in on itself.
“We are going to need a one (first-round picks),” McAfee said. “I’m not talking for the building; the building has not asked me for any advice. I don’t love the building has the same person working on rebuilding the building that was part of putting the building in the spot that it’s been right now. I do have faith in others that are in that building in the spot that it’s in right now. I do have faith in others that are in that building and have been in that building for a long time.
“There’s no way we are trading Jonathan Taylor without a one.”
The New York Giants were rumored to have an offer on the table that included a second-round pick, the Colts tossed that idea right into the bad egg chute. However, according to head coach John Harbaugh, that offer might still be in play?
“I’m not saying that report’s not true,” he said following the Giants 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, according to ESPN. “Those conversations are taking place. If something happens for any player, can’t talk about any (specific) player because they’re with other teams right now, but we’re not ruling anything out.”
