Stampede Blue on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
he's 27-years-old with a lot of mileage on his tires, and NFL running backs typically do not age all that gracefully into their early thirties, unless apparently you're freak of nature Derrick Henry...Taylor has 122 carries for 492 total rushing yards (4.0 ypc avg.) and 7 rushing touchdowns during all 6 starts in the 2026 season.
STACKED’s take
Taylor trade candidate at 27 with mileage; 4.0 ypc, 7 TDs in 6 starts.
At 27 years old with significant mileage, Taylor is a potential trade candidate, though the source argues the Colts should retain him unless he requests out. The source notes NFL running backs typically don't age gracefully into their early thirties (citing Derrick Henry as an exception) and compares Taylor's situation to Nelson—both future Hall of Famers and Ring of Honor candidates who provide fan appeal. The source suggests keeping Taylor for the remainder of his prime is worth more than the expected 2027 2nd round pick return. Taylor has 122 carries for 492 rushing yards (4.0 ypc) and 7 rushing touchdowns in 6 starts; possible suitors include Denver, Green Bay, and Minnesota.
