Irsay told reporters that same day there were no plans for the Colts to make a contract offer to Taylor.

 Taylor has been at odds with the Colts for awhile. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on July 29 the 2021 All-Pro formally requested a trade after a meeting with team owner Jim Irsay.

ESPN's Stephen Holder reported on July 30 the Colts were considering putting Taylor on the non-football injury list stemming from back pain he reported during his pre-training camp physical.

Taylor denied he ever reported having back pain:

The Colts didn't put Taylor on the non-football injury list, but he did leave training camp last week to continue rehabbing his ankle at an off-site location. Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters it was a planned part of the process.

Rapoport reported Monday that Taylor was back with the team, but he was still on the physically unable to perform list and desires a trade.

Taylor only appeared in 11 games last season due to ankle injuries. He finished the year with 861 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 192 carries.
