Summary
Multiple trade offers for Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart expired Tuesday after Indianapolis held out for bigger returns at the NFL deadline.
A Giants package for Taylor reportedly included a second- and fifth-round pick, but the Colts wanted a first-rounder or more; no team met that price, and Taylor was told he was staying.
Stewart also drew a fifth-round offer that later improved to a fourth-rounder plus a late pick, but the Colts waited for more and those bids were pulled.
Indianapolis did move receivers Josh Downs and 34-year-old Keenan Allen, adding fourth-, fifth- and 2027 sixth-round picks while keeping Daniel Jones despite talks with at least one team.
The deadline decisions leave a 2-7 Colts team with fewer future picks than it might have gained, even as the club reportedly viewed Taylor and Jones as assets for attracting a future coach or GM.
