Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, who is seeking a contract extension that has not materialized, requested a trade from the team earlier this week and has been awaiting a decision, an NFL source told ESPN on Saturday.

Colts owner Jim Irsay, when asked later Saturday about the trade request, told ESPN the team would not trade Taylor.

"We will not trade Jonathan Taylor," Irsay said. "That is a certainty. Not now or not in October."
