Jonathan Taylor: Possibly the biggest haul the Colts could get in a trade would be if they moved their star back. Taylor was extended this past offseason so the contract remaining is a plus to whoever trades for him. Still only 27 years old, Taylor is on a Hall of Fame trajectory if he maintains his current production with his new team in a trade scenario.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Taylor being shopped; could net Colts Round 1 pick or McCaffrey-level haul.

Star RB being shopped to highest bidder; age 27, on Hall of Fame trajectory with current production level; contract extension is a plus for acquiring team. Colts seeking Round 2, 3, 4, and 5th picks or Round 1 pick equivalent; comparable to Christian McCaffrey trade return (Round 2, 3, 4, and future 5th). Taylor did not request trade but Colts are listening to offers. Timing-wise, trade makes most sense near 2026 deadline or after season for maximum value; post-June 1st trade would save $16M in cap.
