A prominent NFL insider would “be surprised if” Jonathan Taylor played another snap for the Indianapolis Colts.

Rapoport reported late last month that Taylor requested a trade from the AFC South club following a meeting with owner Jim Irsay. The 24-year-old star and Wisconsin product is entering the final season of his rookie contract.
On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Colts gave Taylor the green light “to seek a trade.” His colleague, Stephen Holder, later reported that Indy wants a first-round pick or a “package of picks that equates to as much.”
