And now the Colts signed RB Kenyan Drake amid the Taylor uncertainty.
(...) McAfee, a former member of the Colts, asked those within the building how things are going. They responded the situation is "much better in the facility, building than it was at the beginning of training camp."
This standoff should defuse naturally beyond the current circumstances, because the Colts desperately need Taylor as the organization develops rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson while the running back has little-to-no leverage in contract discussions.
Owner Jim Irsay vehemently said that Taylor won't be traded. ESPN's Stephen Holder reported "the idea has not been totally dismissed at Colts headquarters," though a move seems unlikely. Taylor still prefers to play elsewhere.

Would you trade RB Khalil Herbert and a 2024 pick in exchange for Jonathan Taylor?
Then we'd have Taylor #1 RB and Roschon Johnson #2.
