RB Jonathan Taylor has formally requested a trade out of Indianapolis following an apparently unproductive meeting with Colts owner Jim Irsay. Irsay, who asserted to Taylor that he has no plans to extend the running back, has come out and made it clear that the Colts have no intentions at all of trading Jonathan Taylor in the near future.
It’s yet another microcosm of a deflated running back market in the 2023 offseason, and Taylor’s unhappiness with his current situation, paired with the fact that he’ll be playing on a likely bad Colts offense, makes him an exceptionally risky pick early in drafts.
It seems unlikely that Taylor is moved at any point before the regular season is underway, but a disgruntled Taylor is not the best news for those drafting or planning on drafting him high in 2023.
