Seattle’s interest in acquiring Jonathan Taylor did not result in a trade after Indianapolis informed him he would remain through the trade deadline.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks’ pursuit of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ended after the Colts decided not to trade him by the NFL’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
With less than an hour to go, Tom Pelissero reported on Nov. 10 that “The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline,” adding that “Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor,” but that Indianapolis wanted a “blockbuster offer” to consider moving him. In the end, Pelissero reported that Taylor would “stay in Indy.”
The report indicated the Colts would not part with Taylor, who is 27 and expected to turn 28 in January, for anything more limited than a blockbuster return.
With no trade, the Seahawks were instead expected to rely on rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price and former second-rounder Zach Charbonnet, along with depth options George Holani and former Packer Emanuel Wilson.
