Jonathan Taylor isn't listening to any trade rumors as the star running back keeps his focus on helping the Indianapolis Colts win games this season.

Taylor is going through the seventh season of his NFL career with the Colts. He shines as one of the best rushers in the league, enjoying one of his best campaigns in 2025.

His status as a star running back garners him interest across the league, especially as Indianapolis remains absent from playoff action since its last appearance in 2020. Taylor answered a question about his future on Thursday ahead of the league's trade deadline, shutting down any notion he is considering an exit from the team that drafted him.

“I haven’t given it any thought. … I think it would be a discredit and a disservice to my teammates and this whole organization to think about what could, what should, what may be,” Taylor said, per reporter James Boyd.
