Overview
- Multiple outlets on Monday reported DNVR’s Zac Stevens saying the Broncos are “doing everything in their power” to complete a trade for Jonathan Taylor and that a deal could happen at any moment.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport have listed Denver among several suitors that have inquired about Taylor, with the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants also named as possible bidders.
- Reports say the Colts are seeking a premium, futures-focused return for Taylor, with coverage comparing the expected price to the Christian McCaffrey trade that involved second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round picks.
- Denver’s running-back room has recent injuries and uneven play, and teams note that rookie Jonah Coleman’s breakout does not remove the club’s interest in adding an elite, proven rusher now.
- No trade is confirmed; Taylor remains under contract and sources expect any deal to be decided before the NFL trade deadline, leaving the Colts’ teardown and Denver’s playoff push as the main stakes to watch.
