Hold onto your hats, Seattle. Jonathan Taylor is as good as gone from Indianapolis, and rumor has it the trade is happening before Tuesday’s deadline. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk is reporting that the belief around the NFL right now is that a Taylor trade isn’t a question of *if*, but *when*.
Tick-Tock: The Colts Are Cashing In
The clock is seriously ticking. Florio says the Colts are fully expected to take the “best offer that’s on the table” for their star running back by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 10. They’re apparently dreaming big, hoping to land a package similar to what the Panthers got from the 49ers for Christian McCaffrey. But let’s be real, the market sets itself, and the Colts are likely to take what they can get by the deadline. It’s a mad dash right now.
Our Hawks Eyeing A Superstar Back?
Here’s where it gets interesting for us, 12s. Florio listed the usual suspects who’ve been linked to Taylor, like the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and Green Bay Packers. But then he dropped the bomb: Our very own **Seattle Seahawks** are right there in the mix! Can you even imagine Taylor in the backfield for Mike Macdonald’s squad? Alongside Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp, that would be an absolute game-changer. Florio also weirdly threw the San Francisco 49ers into the conversation, even though they already have a solid backfield with Christian McCaffrey and Kaelon Black. It seems like the Colts are just looking for that sweet deal, and our Hawks could be the team to make it happen.
Taylor’s Emotional Farewell (Maybe)
Taylor played what might have been his last game with the Colts this past Sunday, when Indy dropped its seventh game of the season to the Dallas Cowboys. After the game, he reportedly spoke with James Boyd of The Athletic, expressing his love for Indianapolis. “If it is [my last game with the Colts], I’m very grateful for the city of Indianapolis,” Taylor said. When he was asked if he’d requested a trade, his response was pretty telling: “it really doesn’t even matter.” Sounds like he knows what’s coming. And he might not be the only one out the door for the Colts, with wide receiver Josh Downs and defensive tackle Grover Cleveland also on the trade block.
So, will our Seahawks make a move for Jonathan Taylor before the clock strikes 4:00 p.m. ET tomorrow? You’ll want to keep those notifications on, Seattle, because this could be a wild ride!
