While the Colts say any trade would require a hefty price—potentially multiple 2nd‑ through 5th‑round picks over two drafts—no official offers have surfaced yet. Both Giants (4‑2‑1) and Vikings (6‑1) sit in the bottom third for yards per carry, prompting interest from other clubs like the Broncos and Seahawks. Taylor, a 27‑year‑old three‑time Pro Bowler who signed a two‑year, $44 million extension in August, recorded just 23 yards in a 42‑7 loss to Jacksonville.

Despite being 2‑for‑7 from beyond 50 yards this season and the NFL’s most missed kicks since 2025, head coach Andy Reid defends Butker, saying the wide aim was a split‑second adjustment to avoid a likely block by Denver’s overloaded front line.
