Pat McAfee Makes Bold Demand Amid Jonathan Taylor Trade Buzz
ESPN’s Pat McAfee talks about how the Colts need to stand firm on their demands for RB Jonathan Taylor — as usual.
The ongoing "will they? won't they?" saga involving the Indianapolis Colts and their star running back Jonathan Taylor has become an unexciting soap opera tale, with everyone having an opinion, someone always crying, and dramatic speeches being delivered. During the Colts' 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, Taylor delivered what sounded like a farewell speech to his team after completing 13 carries for 46 yards.
ESPN CollegeDay analyst and former Colts punter Pat McAfee, who has been extremely vocal about the potential trade, shared his thoughts on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday. McAfee believes that the Colts should stand firm on their asking price of a first-round pick for the 27-year-old, as Indianapolis does not have a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
McAfee stated, "We are going to need a one (first-round pick)." He emphasized that the building (Colts) does not need advice from him and expressed faith in the existing team members, many of whom have been with the organization for a long time. The New York Giants were rumored to have an offer on the table with a second-round pick, but the Colts rejected the idea.
However, head coach John Harbaugh admitted that conversations about potential trades are taking place, but he couldn't comment on any specific player.
