That defeat, combined with the team's recent decision to fire general manager Chris Ballard, has fueled talk that Indianapolis could be sellers before the trade deadline, with Taylor viewed as a prime trade chip.\n\nTaylor himself isn't rattled by any of it. He signed a $44 million extension in August and is under contract through the 2028 season, and he said last week he hadn't given trade rumors \"any thought.\" Asked about his wife joining the conversation, Taylor shrugged it off, noting the speculation was already out there before she posted anything. \"You know everybody's on TikTok these days,\" he said, adding that his focus is simply on showing up to work.","published_at":"2026-10-26T22:06:20.447411+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor defends his wife’s public speculation on him being traded","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-defends-wife-public-010013651.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Jonathan Taylor defends his wife’s public speculation on him being traded","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/colts-jonathan-taylor-ayanna-taylor-trade-speculation.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Jonathan Taylor’s wife adds to trade drama on TikTok: ‘More to this story’","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/26/sports/jonathan-taylors-wife-adds-to-trade-drama-on-tiktok-more-to-this-story/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor: Trade rumors are out there, my wife discussing it doesn't change anything","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jonathan-taylor-trade-rumors-are-out-there-my-wife-discussing-it-doesnt-change-anything"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jonathan Taylor doesn't mind wife using social media to discuss trade rumors","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7725694/2026/10/26/jonathan-taylor-wife-social-media-trade-rumors/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor addresses trade rumors after wife lets loose on social media","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-addresses-trade-rumors-221916005.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor's wife addresses Colts trade rumors: 'My life is now a Colts transaction watch'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylors-wife-addresses-colts-001935175.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor's wife addresses Colts trade rumors: 'My life is now a Colts transaction watch'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylors-wife-addresses-colts-001935883.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Colts’ Jonathan Taylor Breaks Silence on Wife’s Trade Rumor Comments","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/colts-jonathan-taylor-breaks-silence-024509192.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘Doesn’t Really Change Anything’ — Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Downplays Wife Ayanna’s Role in Trade Rumors","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/doesn-t-really-change-anything-030524057.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":""Life is Now a Colts Transaction Watch": Jonathan Taylor's Wife Fuels Trade Speculation in Social Media Post Before Deadline","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/life-now-colts-transaction-watch-033712674.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘You just got to…’ – RB Jonathan Taylor reacts to his wife saying the Colts may trade him","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/just-got-rb-jonathan-taylor-113000829.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"What Colts Jonathan Taylor said about wife stirring trade rumors on social media","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/colts-jonathan-taylor-said-wife-133824238.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor: Trade rumors are out there, my wife discussing it doesn't change anything","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-trade-rumors-wife-134233167.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/c22dac0/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F581%2F926%2Fnbc_pftpm_minind_261025.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
