Johnathan Taylor

He is permitted to seek a trade. My money is on Denver or KC. Where do you guys think?

How about the Seahawks trade Darrell Taylor, 2024 3rd round pick (#81), and DJ Dallas for him? Just joking, of course. I like the Seahawk backfield just the way it is currently.

why would we do this with K9 and Charb? come on guys.

The Broncos do have cap space but they also have to consider that they need future picks to help off set the cap costs of the RW contract.

Giving up multiple picks for Taylor may work against the Broncos future roster building ideas.

I could see Buffalo taking a shot.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

I could see the Raiders, considering Jacobs is holding out.

The articles I've seen about it say the Colts want a first-round pick or a package of picks equivalent to a first-round pick.

Taylor is also expecting the acquiring team to give him the contract extension the Colts don't want to give him.

Are there any teams in the NFL that are sufficiently unfamiliar with 2023 positional values and running-back fungibility to give up a first-round pick for the right to sign Taylor to a multiyear extension that the team most familiar with him doesn't want to give him?

I agree with a previous poster about Buffalo. They could use some more weapons/firepower on offense. Maybe Miami. Maybe Chicago. I don't know. You've got to give up both draft capital and pay him. Pretty steep price if Indy holds the line about what they expect in return for him. It's something to watch. That's for sure.

Jim Irsay and the Colts: "Yeah we're not willing to pay our top RB like a top RB, but we'd like top return for him never the less!!"

Colts are looking for a CMC-type haul of draft picks. I don't see that happening.

 

[Mix]

Only team that can meet his contract demands and has a need at RB are the Bears, Cardinals, Bills.

He will be a Colt or a Bear.

People are floating the Chiefs, that's a pipe dream based on Cap situation.

My guess he won’t be going anywhere the Colts are following the Ravens lead on how to deal with a player and salary demands. Colts will make him available nobody will want to give up the draft capital and a huge contract for a RB. Taylor is a good player but plays a devalued position the Colts have all the power

 

[flv2]

Good RBs were available as free agants and teams didn't have to give up picks to sign them. Any team trading for Taylor is going to give up picks and pay him a substantial salary. If i'm signing a big money RB I want a team player who'll get the 1st down and go down short of the endzone if that's what the team needs late in the game. That isn't Taylor. Is there a team that will give up either what the Colts want or what Taylor wants? I don't think so. My advice to Taylor is to play just 6 games, (in line with CBA requirements), and sit out the rest of the season.

 

[bileever]

Irsay is an idiot. The Colts think Taylor is not worth paying for, but want a first-round pick for him. The Panthers didn't get a first-round pick for McCaffrey. (Although I think the 49ers gave up too much for CMC.)

 

[Ozzy]

I could see Miami as a possibility too unless their cap doesn't allow it.

Apparently, according to Adam Schefter, the Colts have received offers from two teams for Taylor. https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/news/report-trade-offers-coming-in-for-jonathan-taylor#:~:text=According to NFL Insider Adam,half a dozen in total.

One of the teams linked to him are the Rams. I, for one, hope the Rams don't get him. Knowing that they like to give away the farm for players, it likely could happen.
