Should the Colts Trade Jonathan Taylor? Yes, Before His Price Drops
Should the Colts trade Jonathan Taylor? Yes. He's 27 and still elite, which is exactly why Indianapolis should sell before the deadline. Backs 28 and older produced only one in six 1,000-yard seasons over the last decade, and the McCaffrey trade returned four picks, none of them a first.
About Up in The Rafters
Up in The Rafters is an independent sports publication built by lifelong fans who care about context as much as headlines. We cover MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, golf, and more with a mix of data-backed analysis, historical perspective, and firsthand fan insight. Our goal is simple: publish clear explainers, sharp commentary, and useful reporting that helps readers understand the game beyond the final score.
Meet our writers on the author pages, where we share bios, backgrounds, and the work each contributor brings to the site. Compare sourced referee, umpire, and judge pay in the Official Pay Clock, or see what time an MLB, NBA, WNBA, NFL, NHL, college, or soccer game usually ends with the game length estimator.
