Despite the Colts‘ reluctance to trade Jonathan Taylor throughout the summer, his career in Indianapolis is believed to be all but finished.
Given that they’ve already given him permission to look for a move, it’s very obvious that the team won’t give the running back the contract he wants.
Prior to the start of the season, it was believed that the Miami Dolphins would be among the teams most interested in acquiring the All-Pro running back through trade. However, it has been said that the Colts wanted Jaylen Waddle in exchange, which the Fins laughed at.

Indy wants a wide receiver as well as extra money for Taylor, claims X account MLFootball. According to the report, wideout Michael Pittman Jr. may leave because he is in the final year of his contract and is seeking a sizable payday.
Taylor will eventually be playing for a different team, barring a significant change. The Baltimore Ravens are the team with the best odds to sign him, according to BetOnline, at +300.
Next in line in this regard are the Arizona Cardinals (+400), followed by the Chicago Bears (+400), then the Dolphins (+500).
It is not currently believed that Pittman would leave Indianapolis, but it will be intriguing to see how things develop.
