NFL trade deadline matchmaker: Vikings add Jonathan Taylor, Chiefs nab WR
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- With the NFL trade deadline two weeks away, teams are actively exploring trades to address key roster needs, highlighted by potential moves involving stars like Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley.
- The Minnesota Vikings, despite being undefeated, seek offensive help and view running back Jonathan Taylor as a solution to boost their low touchdown production and add explosiveness.
- The Cincinnati Bengals aim to improve their running game by targeting Saquon Barkley, whose strong rushing metrics contrast with the underperformance of their current backs.
- The Buffalo Bills look to strengthen their defensive front with Jeffery Simmons to improve their poor defensive rushing success and pass rush, addressing vulnerabilities exposed by injuries.
- Other notable trade targets include WR Adonai Mitchell for the Chiefs to revive their downfield passing, DL DeForest Buckner for the Packers to bolster their defensive line, and CB Tariq Woolen for the Lions to enhance their secondary.
