Jonathan Taylor's next team before Dec 1, 2026: Minnesota?

Probably not — Taylor is under contract with Indianapolis through 2028, has denied requesting a trade, and the owner reportedly opposes moving him, while Minnesota rumors remain speculative. The main risk is an abrupt trade before Dec. 1, especially if the Colts reverse course or Minnesota makes a compelling offer.

Probably not — Taylor just signed a long-term extension through 2028, denied requesting a trade, and the Colts owner reportedly does not want to deal him; Minnesota link is speculative with no confirmed transaction. Only strong news of a sudden trade before Dec 1 would change this.

Probably not — Taylor recently inked a massive extension, explicitly stated he has not requested a trade, and the Colts leadership has signaled they have no intention of moving him before the deadline. The Vikings connection appears to be purely speculative media buzz rather than active negotiations. A sudden, massive blockbuster trade prior to the NFL trade deadline is the only scenario that would prove this wrong.

Probably not — Taylor just signed a two-year Colts extension through 2028, has not requested a trade, and the owner/coach have publicly indicated he is staying. Minnesota remains only speculative rumor with no official transaction, and the Dec 1 cutoff (plus likely imminent NFL trade deadline) leaves little time for a deal. A sudden owner reversal or injury-driven fire sale could still prove this wrong.

Likely no — Taylor remains under contract with Indianapolis, has publicly said he hasn’t requested a trade, and the Colts’ owner reportedly does not want to move him. Minnesota links are speculative and no official transaction is imminent. The main risk is a sudden change in stance and an official trade before Dec 1, but that looks unlikely given the current reporting.

Probably not — Taylor just signed a two-year extension through 2028, has not requested a trade, and both the owner and coach have publicly stated he remains on the Colts. The Minnesota link is described as pure speculation with no confirmed transaction, and there's only about a month left before the deadline. A surprise trade is always possible in the NFL, but all signals strongly point to Taylor staying in Indianapolis.

Probably not — Taylor is under contract with the Colts through 2028, and both he and the team have denied trade requests. The main risk is an unexpected last-minute trade to Minnesota before Dec 1.

Probably not — Taylor is under contract with the Colts through 2028 after his August 2026 extension, and both he and coach Steichen publicly denied any trade request this week. Minnesota is the most-speculated destination, but with the NFL trade deadline (early November) imminent and the Colts' owner opposed to a deal, a confirmed move by Dec 1 is unlikely. A blockbuster deadline offer or a surprise post-deadline transaction could still prove this wrong.

Probably not — Taylor signed a two-year extension with the Colts in August 2026, has publicly denied requesting a trade, and the owner reportedly opposes a deal, so a Minnesota trade before Dec 1 is unlikely. Only a sudden collapse in relations or a blockbuster offer before the deadline could flip this.

Probably not — Taylor just signed a two-year, $44M extension with the Colts through 2028 and has not requested a trade, with the owner reportedly opposed to moving him. For Minnesota to be his next team before Dec 1, an official trade would need to be completed in the next month, which is unlikely given the Colts' stance. The main thing that could prove me wrong is a sudden, officially reported blockbuster trade at the deadline.
