Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Indianapolis is reportedly seeking compensation comparable to what Carolina received for Christian McCaffrey in 2022, and reports have indicated that the Colts have discussed a package involving a first-round pick and a defensive tackle.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's trade value has risen sharply; Colts seeking first-round pick compensation.
The source projects Indianapolis could realistically receive a 2027 second-round pick and 2028 third-round selection for Taylor before the Colts began trading key veterans; however, with multiple teams now expressing serious interest (Denver, Minnesota, Seattle, New York Giants, Green Bay, Cincinnati), the market appears considerably more competitive. Indianapolis is reportedly seeking compensation comparable to what Carolina received for Christian McCaffrey in 2022—a package involving a first-round pick and defensive tackle—and the source believes it will take a first-round selection or an exceptional alternative package to convince the Colts to move Taylor. This is a significant investment for a running back who will turn 28 next season and is scheduled to earn approximately $34 million over the final two years of his contract.
