Jonathan Taylor stays with Colts: Why Indianapolis demanded a first-round pick

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will remain with the team after the franchise declined to trade him for less than a first-round pick. Despite the Colts being in a rebuilding phase, Taylor's team-friendly contract and status as one of the NFL's most productive running backs made Indianapolis unwilling to accept a discounted offer. The Colts held firm on their asking price, keeping one of their most valuable offensive assets.
