Jonathan Taylor says he won't request trade as Colts sell off stars
The Colts' star RB insists he wants to stay in Indianapolis despite the team trading away Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner.
What to know
- Jonathan Taylor insisted Thursday he hasn't requested a trade and wants to remain with the Colts, though multiple teams are inquiring about him before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- The Colts completed a mid-season fire sale, trading Pro Bowl stars Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner this week as the franchise shifts toward a rebuild while sitting at 2-5.
- Taylor rejected the characterization that the team has surrendered, saying players are still trying to win rather than waving a white flag.
- Taylor's wife posted on social media that her "mind is spiraling" amid the trade uncertainty surrounding the team.
“Similar to Quenton and Buck. They were proud to wear the horseshoe. They were proud to be here. But obviously, circumstances may cause otherwise. Hopefully that day may not come, but I can't control that.”

Taylor rejects premise of rebuild, says team is trying to win
When asked if he was OK with being part of a rebuild, Taylor rejected the characterization, saying: "You think we're rebuilding? We're going out there trying to win. No one goes out there to wave the white flag and surrender."

Just let the man go. Give him a chance to win a SB. It is not happening in Indy anytime soon. Their window was last year and that window closed with the Jones injury. I firmly believe that if that didn’t happen, they would have been extremely hard to beat, but it matters not.

Doesn't even have to be paper tiger. He could just be looking at next year. There are almost no FA QBs, so we'll either have to draft one late in the 1st or trade some firsts to get a vet

The Colts will be taking a calculated risk, if RB Jonathan Taylor plays today amid ongoing trade talks. (And it's technically possible that someone will make a winning offer this morning that hinges on Taylor sitting out Sunday's game at Jacksonville.) https://www. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballt…
-
Yeah, that's why there's no real point in holding onto Taylor if you're going to fire-sale everyone else. None of these were big key player trades so far, it's not like they traded for different but equally good players. They've all been for picks, which means... They should blow it all up. Especially with Taylor's stock being so high right now…

No one "acts" like they are doomed to a long rebuild. They ARE doomed to a long rebuild!! You know who knows that? The fucking Colts!! That's you do things like fire your GM and sell Nelson and Buckner to the highest bidder. The Colts have been pathetic this season. The Vikings only winning by six does not remotely reflect how sad the Colts were…

The main reason the giants had such a strange love/hate relationship with DJ was his inability to stay on the field for 16 games a year , could never catch his stride, and the roster was in flux yty around that
-
I think he's more frustrated at the ownership for making the choice to rebuild. JT seems like the ultimate competitor, so now that he's been dealt a shit hand he's probably annoyed. Makes sense he's having trade rumors circling around him, he definitely seems to not fit the Colts timeline now.

No team that has the draft capital to give is gonna give the Colts what they want. They are gonna shit the bed and wait too long, and then Taylor is gonna get injured in 2 weeks behind the firesell offensive line they have left and they are gonna kick themselves.

I still can't fathom why they blew up the team weeks before the trade deadline. They have the Jags game tomorrow if they won that game with the roster they had a string of winnable games coming up.
