Steichen asked if Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade

The Indianapolis Colts have traded away Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Could Jonathan Taylor be next?

On Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen was asked if Taylor had requested a trade.

"No," he said, via the Indy Star's Nathan Brown.

When asked if Buckner or Nelson had requested trades, Steichen said he was keeping "all of that private."

While the Colts have entered rebuild mode, early reports suggest that the team would like to hang on to Taylor.

Ian Rapoport recently reported that the Colts view Taylor as "a big part of their franchise turnaround," adding that acquiring Taylor via trade would be pricey.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently echoed those sentiments as well.

What the Colts must determine prior to the Nov. 10 trade deadline is whether they'd rather have the additional draft capital that would come with a trade, or keep Taylor on a roster that is likely to be uncompetitive next season.

Although Taylor just signed a two-year, $44 million contract extension prior to the season, the contract is movable if needed.
