Colts Plan to Wait Until After Week 9 to Trade

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the Colts plan to wait until after Week 9 against the Cowboys before revisiting trade offers. The team believes teams may increase their bids following Sunday’s games.

Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, and Grover Stewart are among the players potentially on the trade market. Daniel Jones has also been mentioned, though his trade value is considered low due to his poor performance this season.

Head coach Frank Reich stated that Taylor will see a full workload despite trade rumors. Taylor remains healthy and is not on the injury report, so fantasy managers can expect him to play in Week 9.

The Colts have already traded DeForest Buckner to the 49ers and Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks in a fire sale ahead of the trade deadline. Taylor could be the next player moved if the team is ready to rebuild.

Multiple teams are interested in acquiring Taylor, with the Vikings, Bengals, and Seahawks among the potential suitors. The Colts reportedly turned down an offer that included a 2027 second-round pick and another selection.

Colts ownership has expressed belief in Taylor as a difference-maker, though the team is holding out for the best possible deal. The trade deadline is November 10, giving teams until then to submit offers.
