Giants serious about JT, Vikings, Broncos less so

Key Points:

• The Indianapolis Colts are actively seeking to trade running back Jonathan Taylor, demanding a first-round pick or a draft package similar to what the Panthers received for Christian McCaffrey; the New York Giants are considered serious suitors, while the Broncos and Vikings show less interest so far.
• Despite trade rumors, Taylor is expected to play and receive a full workload in Week 9, with no trade request made; the Colts aim to maximize draft capital in their rebuilding efforts, having already traded key players like DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson.
• Several teams, including the Bengals, Vikings, Seahawks, Giants, and potentially the Broncos, are interested in acquiring Taylor, but the Colts are holding out for an overpay, likely requiring at least a second-round pick.
• Other notable trade market activity includes defensive tackles like Derrick Brown and wide receivers such as Josh Downs, with teams like the Chiefs, Steelers, and 49ers seeking help at wide receiver positions ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
• Injury updates for Week 9 include MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks being questionable for the Packers, Alvin Kamara expected to play for the Saints, and several wide receivers like Jauan Jennings and Emeka Egbuka listed as questionable or game-time decisions.
