Key points
  • COLTS TRADE PRO BOWL GUARD QUENTON NELSON TO SEAHAWKS, THE FIRST OF WHAT COULD BE MULTIPLE DEADLINE MOVES But it's the stuff the Colts failed to do that raises eyebrows.
  • A league source told OutKick and Fox News Digital that the Colts could have traded starting defensive tackle Grover Stewart for a fifth-round pick.
  • And this: It is quite possible that after spending the last couple of weeks on trade watch, and delivering what sounded like a farewell message following Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Taylor might be disappointed he's still on a losing team instead of headed to a team that wanted him for a postseason push.

That trade would have sent the Colts a package somewhat similar to one the San Francisco 49ers gave up for Christian McCaffrey, but as the Colts considered the offer, the Giants pulled it.

Additional details
  • JONATHAN TAYLOR DELIVERS WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOODBYE TO INDIANAPOLIS AFTER COLTS' FIFTH STRAIGHT LOSS And they decided not to pull the trigger.
  • But as the Colts waited to get an even better offer, all offers were pulled.
  • The Colts also engaged in conversations with at least one other team (the Minnesota Vikings, one source said) about Daniel Jones but kept their embattled starting quarterback.
  • The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday afternoon and the Indianapolis Colts underperformed – kind of like they've been doing on the field this season.
  • But the Colts were intent on getting some sort of blockbuster deal for Taylor.
