Jonathan Taylor may have played his final game with the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Or he might not have. No one actually knows yet.
The Giants even pulled an initial offer for Taylor, although head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged that “things can change.”
Following the Colts’ 27-23 loss to the Cowboys, the three-time Pro Bowler acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his future with Indianapolis as Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline approaches.
“I’m not sure. I know as much as you,” Taylor said, via The Athletic. “… At the end of the day, this has been a spot where I grew up. … If it is (my last game with Indy), I’m very grateful for the city of Indianapolis.”

Asked whether he had requested a trade, Taylor replied, “It really doesn’t even matter.”
Taylor’s comments came after yet another frustrating afternoon for the Colts, whose season has spiraled, falling to 2-7 on the year after suffering their fifth straight loss.
The 27-year-old rushed for 46 yards on 13 carries and caught five passes for 18 yards against Dallas.
He also lost a costly fourth-quarter fumble with Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams forcing the ball loose as Indy trailed 20-17 with over nine minutes remaining in the game.
The defeat only adds to the speculation that Taylor could be moved before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.
This season alone, the Colts have already traded longtime offensive guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers.
Nelson landed Indianapolis a third-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-rounder in 2028. Buckner earned the Colts a 2027 fourth-rounder.
The Colts, however, will not trade quarterback Daniel Jones, according NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Taylor has 161 carries for 656 rushing yards with eight touchdowns on the ground this season. He also has 26 catches for 220 yards through the air.
Unlike Nelson and Buckner, Taylor is under contract beyond this season after signing an extension in August that runs through 2028.
Taylor, a second-round pick in 2020, has been with the Colts for his entire NFL tenure, amassing over 8,200 rushing yards, more than 1,700 carries, and 84 touchdowns in total.
