Colts RB Jonathan Taylor plans to stay the course in Indianapolis despite turbulent week
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jonathan Taylor is content playing for the Indianapolis Colts, even this version of the team.That's why he hasn't requested a trade and why he's trying to tune out all the speculation and rumors suggesting he could be the next Indy player dealt.
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor remains committed to playing for the team despite a tumultuous week filled with speculation and rumors. The three-time Pro Bowl player has not requested a trade and is concentrating on ignoring the chatter surrounding potential departures. Taylor emphasized his pride in wearing the Colts' emblem, stating that his focus is on competing and securing victories.
He acknowledged the impact of losing longtime captains Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, but remains confident in the team's ability to win, especially with Nelson and Buckner both on expiring contracts. Taylor, signed to a $44 million, two-year contract extension, is still young and has had an impressive season, currently fifth in the league in rushing yards.
While the Colts' roster changes have raised concerns, Taylor expressed hope that younger players will seize opportunities to step up and help the team achieve playoff contention.
