Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been stuck answering questions for two straight weeks about whether he will even be on the team after next Tuesday. It is a full-blown saga, and everyone is waiting for November 10 to hit.
Living In Limbo
Taylor has made it crystal clear he is not a fan of this whole situation. He has been fielding questions about his future with the Colts non-stop, and he knows there is no avoiding them until the deadline. His exact words, via Stephen Holder of ESPN.com, nail it perfectly: “No one wants uncertainty.” You can bet he will be a happy man when the questions finally stop coming his way. Until that 4 p.m. ET deadline next Tuesday, he says, you will not “know exactly what is going on, you will know exactly what the verdict is.” Talk about being in limbo.
Playing Through The Noise
Despite all the trade talk swirling around him, Taylor actually played in last week’s loss against the Vikings. And get this, the plan is for him to suit up again this week when they face the Cowboys. He is trying his best to lock in and keep his focus squarely on the game, because, as he put it, he does not “want external factors creeping in and trying to alter your play.” That is a tough ask when your whole NFL future is hanging in the balance, right?
By next Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, the entire saga is done. Either he is dealt to a team looking for that final push, or he is a Colt for the rest of the season. He will be playing against the Cowboys this week, but everyone knows the real game is against the clock until November 10.
