It would not be a surprise for the Colts to trade someone like Jonathan Taylor, especially as the trade rumors pick up serious steam. He's very much in play to be dealt this season. But so far, nothing has come close to materializing.
These constant trade rumors and speculation are taking their toll on Taylor's wife, Ayanna, who shared on her TikTok account (ayanna ly) that the waiting game for a trade is "driving me crazy."

"This waiting game is driving me crazy. I feel like a prized calf waiting for the slaughter. It's gonna happen today? Tomorrow? Is it never gonna happen? And I genuinely cannot decide what's worse," Ayanna Taylor said.

This post from Taylor's wife, shared by James Boyd of The Athletic on Twitter/x, went viral as it got over 170 comments and 100,000 views.
Amid the near-constant trade rumors that could completely upend his and her lives ahead of the November 10 trade deadline.
Taylor has spent his entire NFL career with the Colts, starting back in 2020 when he was taken in the second round. He's since made three Pro Bowls, ran for 8,208 rushing yards, and earned a first-team All-Pro honor.
Seven years later, there's a very real possibility that Taylor will be leaving the Colts, and his future destination is completely up to the Colts' front office, not Taylor.

This isn't the same thing as Taylor hitting free agency and getting the chance to figure out where he and his family want to go. In this instance, Ayanna and Jonathan Taylor's future residence is completely up to the Colts.
They could stay in Indianapolis if a trade doesn't materialize, or they could wind up going to the Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, or Cincinnati Bengals.
A new team could even emerge depending on whether another contender's running back were to get hurt. All of this to say, Taylor's future is very much up in the air, and Ayanna Taylor isn't a fan.
It's hard to blame her reaction, as there is so much uncertainty about where Taylor will wind up. But a decision will be made soon, as Ayanna and Jonathan Taylor will either remain with the Colts or have a new home by November 10's NFL trade deadline.
