Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has formally requested a trade ahead of the final season on his rookie contract, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The request comes shortly after Colts owner Jim Irsay and Taylor met on Irsay’s bus at practice on Saturday, per Rapoport.
“If I die tonight and Jonathan Taylor is out of the league, no one’s gonna miss us,” Irsay told reporters after his meeting with Taylor, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. “The league goes on. We know that. The National Football (League) rolls on. It doesn’t matter who comes and who goes, and it’s a privilege to be a part of it.”
