- onathan Taylor is content playing for the Indianapolis Colts, even this version of the team.
That's why he hasn't requested a trade and why he's trying to tune out all the speculation and rumors suggesting he could be the next Indy player dealt.
Instead, the three-time Pro Bowl running back spent Thursday reflecting on the two high-profile moves that sent two longtime friends to NFC West teams and passionately explained why the Colts must avoid the distractions and focus solely on football.
