Ramblings of the Colts variety.

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings could be potential suitors for RB Jonathon Taylor if he’s available for trade, per @jjones9

“The Colts could look to reclaim some draft capital after sending two first-round picks to the Jets for Sauce Gardner last year, and Taylor would be the most expedient route to a high pick.”

[Spotrac @spotrac]

[The Purple Persuasion @TPPSkol]

We have @TomPelissero echoing the same sentiment…

The Colts have received strong trade interest in recent days, and “no player is expected to be off-limits if they decide to sell before the November 10 trade deadline.”

He adds

“Colts owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon wants to see how the team responds before greenlighting any major moves.”

Interesting one tk watch for the Viking who could be buyers in the next several weeks.

Giants, Vikings could be suitors for Jonathan Taylor if he becomes available for trade, per @JJones9.

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Pelissero: Colts have received strong trade interest in Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner ahead of trade deadline.

No player is expected to be off limits if they decide to sell.

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

The Colts have received strong trade interest in Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and no player is expected to be off-limits – if they decide to sell before the Nov. 10 deadline.

[Playa Haters @PlayerStormy]

Colts should bench Jonathan Taylor this week. I don’t need our RB getting hurt against us

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@purplepain_ @VikingsTruther You all willing to do a 1st for Taylor and a pick? Genuinely curious

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

Potential trade framework between the Colts and Vikings involving Jonathan Taylor:

Indianapolis receives: 2027 1st

Minnesota receives: Taylor + 2027 4th

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

@RapSheet lists Seattle as a potential suitor for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor:

“If Jonathan Taylor was available - I would expect many teams to be interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle was one of them.”

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

The Colts are going to see if they can save their season over the next few weeks before deciding to sell at the trade deadline, per @RapSheet on @PatMcAfeeShow.

Jonathan Taylor, Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner would all net a strong asset return.

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

The Colts could net a 2027 1st-round pick for Jonathan Taylor, if they’re willing to attach a pick alongside him, per @RapSheet on @PatMcAfeeShow.

If the market is strong enough for Taylor, which seems likely, they might add a pick and recoup a 2027 1st.

"I think it's fair to say that the future of Shane Steichen with the Colts is very much up in the air..

I've always thought that he was a good head coach" ~ @RapSheet #PMSLive

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

"The Colts have a couple more games before they have to make the decision if they really wanna trade these guys..

They want to give Shane Steichen the opportunity to see if they can win these games before the trade deadline" ~ @RapSheet #PMSLive

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Colts HC Shane Steichen ruled out CB Sauce Gardner (calf) and TE Tyler Warren (groin) for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings.

[Stampede Blue @StampedeBlue]

The next two weeks will determine Shane Steichen’s future with the Colts https://t.co/ptx7Kffatu

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

From @GMFB: #Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered what is believed to be a minor calf injury, while the #Colts will have a decision to make on RB Jonathan Taylor.

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

#Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. has been charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, per @FOX59.

Richardson was pulled over on Oct. 12 for an expired registration. He told police he had smoked marijuana in the vehicle and had a small amount inside, according to court documents. Police found a jar containing marijuana and an opened bag of THC-infused gummies.

The charge was filed Monday.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

@Redbeard_FB Oh yeah if a team is being logical, I’ve no doubt most would be a hard no. I just know there’s always the chance for someone to do something silly XD My guess is tho they’d have to come off the asking price for something like CMC or similar enough like you mentioned if at all.

[Speed Blue @SpeedBlue23]

Look the cardinals got a 2nd rounder for Marv jr lmao. I know difference in positional value but in terms of actual production in the league… the Colts aren’t crazy starting the bargaining price at a 1st for JT and some others, It’s what they should always do.
