Jonathan Taylor offers emotional goodbye to Indy after final game before trade deadline
After Colts lost 27-23 to the Cowboys, Jonathan Taylor said he wasn't sure if Week 9 was his final game as a Colt. He offered the city and fans a proper goodbye
Jonathan Taylor's emotional farewell to the Indianapolis Colts came as he prepared for his final game before a potential trade deadline. The 27-year-old running back, who serves as the franchise leader in rushing touchdowns, acknowledged that he was uncertain if this would be his last game with the team. Following a 27-23 loss to the Cowboys in Week 9, Taylor spoke to reporters, emphasizing his gratitude for the city of Indianapolis and the support of its fans.
The Colts' recent struggles, including a 2-7 record and 14 losses in their last 16 games, led to the firing of general manager Chris Ballard and the trading away of key players Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. As the team looks to the future and seeks draft capital, Taylor's value as a trade asset becomes increasingly important.
In his farewell address, Taylor reflected on the city that helped shape him and expressed his hope that the fans would appreciate his contributions during his time with the Colts.
