New Jonathan Taylor Trade Rumors Reveal Every Team Eyeing Colts Star as NFL Landing Spot
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- At least five NFL teams, including the Packers, Seahawks, Vikings, Broncos, and Giants, are reportedly considering acquiring Colts running back Jonathan Taylor if Indianapolis is open to trading him.
- The Colts, currently 2-4 and having fired GM Chris Ballard, may consider trading Taylor as they potentially shift focus to rebuilding for the future, with his significant salary cap hits in 2027 and 2028 being a financial factor.
- Despite a career-low average of 4.0 yards per carry, Taylor remains a heavily utilized player with 492 yards and seven touchdowns this season, showing potential for improved performance with better passing game support.
- The Packers' interest is notable given they recently activated running back Josh Jacobs, suggesting a possible shift in their backfield strategy if they pursue Taylor.
- The Seahawks face a running back gap after Kenneth Walker III, with rookie Jadarian Price still on injured reserve, making Taylor a potential fit for their needs.
