The Indianapolis Colts still haven’t found a trade partner for running back Marlon Mack, but that might be just a matter of time. Mack is reportedly attracting interest from multiple teams lately, with the Kansas City Chiefs being one of them, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Mack recently requested a trade from the Colts as he isn’t happy with his role on the team. Indianapolis reportedly wants to do right by the 25-year-old player but still hasn’t found a deal that they like.
The Chiefs seem like a natural landing spot for Mack, considering they just lost their starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire and need depth on the running back position. They do have veterans Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon as options, but neither has a resume that matches Mack’s.
Marlon Mack enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Colts back in 2019, when he rushed for 1,091 yards and eight touchdowns. He was set to be the franchise’s back of the future at that point, but a torn Achilles in the 2020 opener changed the trajectory of his career. With Mack out, Indianapolis turned to Jonathan Taylor and never looked back.
Upon his return in 2021, Mack found that he isn’t even a primary backup as the Colts believe Nyheim Hines is better suited for the no.2 role due to his abilities in the passing game.
