Colts making moves 🚨 Will Jonathan Taylor be traded following Nelson & Buckner trades? 👀 | NFL Live

Indianapolis has parted with two familiar faces, leaving NFL Live with a question about another: what happens to Jonathan Taylor?

The Colts' trades of guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers give ESPN's panel plenty to unpack before it even reaches the running back. The segment drew roughly 184,000 views in six hours, an unusually fast start for a regular ESPN upload.

Laura Rutledge is joined by Ian Rapoport, Mina Kimes, Dan Orlovsky and Marcus Spears. They begin with Nelson's arrival in Seattle, move into other possible Indianapolis trades, then turn to Buckner. The distinction matters: Nelson and Buckner have been traded; Taylor's future is the question, not an announced deal.

Viewers are already imagining the possibilities. Some suggest Minnesota or Carolina for Taylor, while another makes a direct appeal for Cincinnati to get involved. Elsewhere, the discussion centers on Seattle's left side with Nelson alongside Charles Cross, and whether San Francisco needs a receiver more urgently than defensive help.

Buckner's move carries a reunion story of its own. San Francisco drafted him in 2016 before trading him to Indianapolis in 2020. For the 49ers, this is a familiar player coming back, not simply a new name joining the defensive line.
