Time is running out when it comes to the Colts trading Jonathan Taylor.

The Colts would love to trade him to a contender, but they appear to be asking for the world. On Sunday, Taylor essentially said his goodbye to the fan base after a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

It seems he knew something was in the works. His name has been linked to several teams, most notably the Giants. They reportedly had a deal on the table, but later rescinded it.

Why a team hasn’t pulled the trigger has now been revealed.

Giants Left as Lone Candidate for Jonathan Taylor as Talks Stall

As the NFL trade deadline arrives, the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings all wanted Jonathan Taylor. However, standing in their way was the Colts’ asking price. All three teams viewed the asking price for star running back Jonathan Taylor as too steep.

As for who might take him, the New York Giants are viewed as the lone remaining candidate. However, talks have stalled.

The Broncos are 7-2 and lead in the AFC West as they head into their bye week. They rank 26th in the NFL in rushing offense for the 2026 season, averaging 92.6 rushing yards per game.

Green Bay is in last place in the NFC North, but they are 6-3 in the top-heavy division. They rank last in the NFL in rushing offense, with Josh Jacobs headed for surgery.

The Minnesota Vikings rank 20th in the NFL in team rushing offense. However, their main concern should be their bad quarterback play.

New York could badly use the standout RB as they look to hold off the Cowboys in the NFC East. Jonathan Taylor can easily elevate these teams with his play.
