After four games played of the 2023 NFL season, Jonathan Taylor is now available to return from the PUP list. Following this situation, the Indianapolis Colts have made their final decision regarding the running back and his future.
This summer has not been very kind with Jonathan Taylor. The elite running back asked the Colts to offer him a contract extension, but the team has refused to give him what he’s looking for.
As a result, the Colts have instructed Jonathan Taylor to explore a trade. However, there haven’t been any interested teams so far, as the price set by Indianapolis is reportedly too steep for potential suitors.
