- Taylor is currently sixth in the league with his 161 carries, tied for sixth with eight touchdowns, and eighth with 656 rushing yards.
The most shocking move of the trade deadline was the fact that Jonathan Taylor was not traded.
The Wisconsin Badgers legend is stuck on an Indianapolis Colts team that got rid of a pair of wide receivers, but left the star running back on the roster.
Additional details
- According to Jordan Schultz, "The Colts had multiple offers of a 2nd-round pick and more," but opted against trading the 27-year-old.
- Taylor isn't getting any younger, and now he's guaranteed to play the rest of the season for a struggling 2-7 organization.
- "The organization decided that if it ever trades him, it will be in the offseason, when more buyers could be available and a permanent GM is in place," Schultz added.
- Still, they decided not to trade their most valuable player at the deadline, and there are no guarantees his value will be the same come the offseason.
- JT is stuck in Indy alongside QB Daniel Jones who simply hasn't been the answer this team is looking for.
