Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade per a source as the team won't negotiate a contract extension per team owner Jim Irsay
WESTFIELD — Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, a league source confirmed to IndyStar, despite a meeting with franchise owner Jim Irsay during the team’s training camp practice on Saturday night.“We will not trade Jonathan Taylor,” Irsay said in an audio file sent to IndyStar. “That is a certainty. Not now, or not in October.”“It’s something that’s going to stay between us, but it was just a good conversation,” Irsay said.
Irsay struck a different tone in his comments about the franchise’s salary-cap flexibility on Saturday night. Taylor took note of that history, referencing the team’s track record in his last public comments in June. The running back was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list immediately — Irsay said the arthroscopic debridement Taylor underwent on his ankle is not a surgery the Colts expect to have long-lasting implications — and although he has been present at practices, Taylor has not been available for an interview.
