Jonathan Taylor’s time with the Colts is coming to an end, and everyone knows it. The team is in the process of being completely torn down and rebuilt, meaning that after six and a half seasons on the run, the team effectively said goodbye to fans on Sunday following a loss to Dallas.
Taylor seemed destined to become the No. 1 rusher in franchise history, needing just a shade over 1,000 yards to pass Edgerrin James. Instead, he was locked into the secondary as the useless rusher who kept the Colts afloat during the most difficult times of the post-Andrew Luck era. Constant in the noise, the biggest question remains, “Where is it going?” That’s what it says. And here are the latest reports on where Taylor could end up.
The Giants are reportedly considering making a deal for Taylor. They are turning their attention to the needs of the interior defensive line, and prefer to move there – According to ESPN’s Jordan Ranan.
Taylor would have been a great addition to a team in need of run help, but the Giants seem more confident that Cam Skatebo can bounce back from injury, and with a strong interior DL presence, they’ll be ready for playoff contention.
The Colts are poised to take home the best gift on Tuesday.
It was previously reported that Carolina was looking for a transfer, as did Indianapolis receiver Christian McCaffrey. That trade netted a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th round pick – although it’s unlikely the Colts will get that deal.
