The Indianapolis Colts are major sellers with the trade deadline almost here, and star running back Jonathan Taylor is their biggest trade chip. Now, Taylor is being linked to five teams with the deadline rapidly approaching. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, and Green Bay Packers have all expressed trade interest in Taylor.
"As the Colts continue to field trade offers for star RB Jonathan Taylor, sources say the Vikings, Giants, Broncos, Bengals and Packers are among the teams that have checked in," Schultz wrote. Schultz also reported that the Colts' asking price for Taylor is currently too high, but it still seems more likely than not that they will trade him by the deadline. Hearing that Taylor is generating so much interest around the NFL is not surprising in the slightest.
He would be a massive addition to any of these teams, as he is a major difference-maker and is right in his prime. Taylor has appeared in seven games this season with the Colts, where he has recorded eight touchdowns, 140 rushes, and 587 rushing yards. This was after he had 18 touchdowns and 1,585 rushing yards in 17 games with the Colts last season.
With numbers like these, he would be a game-changing addition for any of these teams. It will be interesting to see if one of them ends up landing him by the deadline.
