Jonathan Taylor has been given permission to seek a trade with all 31 NFL teams not named the Indianapolis Colts, a source confirmed to OutKick on Monday afternoon.
Taylor, the NFL’s leading rusher in 2021 and a running back who has a career 5.1 yard per carry average, has been unhappy with the Colts over the past few months because he wants a contract extension but has been unable to negotiate one.
Now he’s able to shop his ample abilities to any team he wishes.
The Colts reportedly gave star running back Jonathan Taylor permission to seek a trade on Monday, enabling his agent to attempt to find a suitable landing spot for the 24-year-old.
It may prove difficult for Taylor to facilitate a trade, however. According to SI’s Albert Breer, there are two main thresholds that would need to be met for a deal to get done.
Per Breer, Indianapolis doesn’t intend to simply give away its one-time All-Pro running back.
There have been at least three books published this century under the title “Hope Is Not a Plan”—one about navigating middle age, one about business management and one about the war in Iraq.
If it seems like there might also be room for one about baseball, well, just wait a few months. There is still a little runtime left in the story of the 2023 Los Angeles Angels.
This past weekend brought more of the same in an endlessly frustrating season for the historically frustrating club. The Angels made another bold move aimed at winning: They called up first-round pick Nolan Schanuel.
Though she’s just 23 years old, it’s been a long saga for track star Sha’Carri Richardson’s young career. At the world championships in Budapest on Monday, the former LSU star scored the biggest win as a professional with a record-setting win in the 100-meter sprint.
Richardson clocked a time of 10.65 seconds—the fastest in the history event—to earn the title of fastest woman in the world.
Amid a contract dispute, the Colts have granted running back Jonathan Taylor permission to seek a trade, per a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
The ongoing rift between the standout back and the club has been well documented in regards to a potential extension to his rookie contract.
Taylor, who reportedly requested a trade following a meeting with owner Jim Irsay last month, can solicit offers from other teams and bring them to the Colts.
This is a developing story.

Bills star Stefon Diggs was the subject of a report from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Monday, who claimed his sources told him the wide receiver wants to be traded out of Buffalo.
Smith made his comments on the latest segment of ESPN’s First Take, claiming that Diggs has “lost a level of belief” in the team.
The three-time Pro Bowler heard the comments from Smith and he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to clear the air and shoot down the claims from the 55-year-old.
