"Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Requests Trade Amid Contract Dispute"

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has formally requested a trade after a meeting with owner Jim Irsay, according to sources. However, Irsay has stated that Taylor will not be traded. The relationship between Taylor and the Colts has soured following a tweet from Irsay about running backs' contracts. Taylor, who previously expressed a desire for a contract extension and to be a Colt for life, is now seeking a trade after just three seasons with the team. Other star running backs have also struggled to secure long-term contracts this offseason. Taylor had a breakout season in 2021 but missed six games due to ankle injuries.
