With his own name now floating around the rumor mill, Taylor said he's trying to block out the noise and keep the focus on football.\n\n\"I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe,\" Taylor said, adding that no one in the building is \"waving the white flag of surrender.\" He said the team's only job now is to compete and try to win games, not get distracted by roster turnover.\n\nStill, Taylor didn't pretend he's immune to what's happening around him. He acknowledged he hasn't heard anything about his own future and can't control it, noting that Nelson and Buckner were also proud to be Colts before circumstances changed. For now, Taylor says he's staying put, by choice if nothing else.","published_at":"2026-10-29T21:48:43.305445+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Colts RB Jonathan Taylor plans to stay the course in Indianapolis despite turbulent week","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/colts-rb-jonathan-taylor-plans-205435773.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jonathan Taylor 'proud to be' with Colts but acknowledges trade possibility","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7736447/2026/10/29/jonathan-taylor-colts-trade-rumors/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Colts' Taylor 'proud to wear the horseshoe,' but concedes future uncertain","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50319874/colts-jonathan-taylor-confirms-requested-trade"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor says he hasn't requested a trade: \"I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe\"","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jonathan-taylor-says-he-hasnt-requested-a-trade-im-always-proud-to-wear-the-horseshoe"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor says he hasn't requested a trade: "I'm always proud to wear the horseshoe"","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-says-hasnt-requested-161709819.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Colts RB Jonathan Taylor on possibly being traded: 'Hopefully that day may not come, but I can't control that'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/colts-rb-jonathan-taylor-on-possibly-being-traded-hopefully-that-day-may-not-come-but-i-cant-control-that-161920657.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor pushes back amid Colts trade rumors: ‘You think we’re rebuilding?’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-pushes-back-amid-183743755.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor pushes back amid Colts trade rumors: ‘You think we’re rebuilding?’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-pushes-back-amid-183743956.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Indianapolis Colts’ Jonathan Taylor Trade Rumors Prompt Him To Speak Out","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/indianapolis-colts-jonathan-taylor-trade-190241165.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jonathan Taylor asked directly about what he’s hearing on trades amid Colts’ fire sale","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jonathan-taylor-asked-directly-hearing-190230908.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/8575e5681e1e1a1870244111e6933017bbb67b6e39854b34769da5ee268f4b61/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fap.org%2F7dc4e7860df8a6844c4d80e9cb11804c.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
