The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly seeking a first-round pick for star running back Jonathan Taylor, prompting speculation about which teams are best positioned to acquire him
The article discusses the potential pros and cons of the Bengals trading for Jonathan Taylor
The NFL trade deadline is a week away and teams are already making moves to go all-in or rebuild for 2027. Jonathan Taylor and Brian Thomas Jr. are two of the biggest names to watch as the deadline approaches
The Giants (and other teams) hope to land Colts running back Jonathan Taylor via trade. With Baltimore’s season potentially falling apart following Sunday injuries to starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) and his backup Tyler Huntley (toe), there could be another running back to potentially be pursued at or before the November 10 deadline, by the Giants or other teams. Derrick Henry, now 32, is far closer to the end of his career than the beginning. His contract pays out $12 million in 2027, with none of it guaranteed. Now could be the time for the Ravens to turn the remainder of his contract into a draft pick or two. And the Giants would make plenty of sense. Beyond the fact that the Giants view Taylor as on the second tier of current NFL tailbacks with Henry, Giants coach John Harbaugh has experience with Henry. After a Week 5 loss to the Saints, Harbaugh explained the distribution of carries to a wide swath of tailbacks by pointing out that they don’t have a clear-cut workhorse. “I would love for us to be in that kind of a circumstance,” Harbaugh said at the time. “A Derrick Henry circumstance or a Saquon Barkley circumstance or whatever it might be.” The best way to be in a “Derrick Henry circumstance” would be to, you know, get Derrick Henry. Whether the Ravens would trade Henry depends on whether they plan to keep him beyond this season. If they’d cut him before a $1 million roster bonus comes due in March, they wouldn’t get a compensatory draft pick. The only way to get value for his contract would be to trade it. Through eight games, Henry leads the league with 158 carries. He has 632 yards (4.0 per carry) and eight touchdowns. Given the quarterback injuries in Baltimore, the Ravens surely will get a call or two about Henry. The Giants, given their interest in Taylor, could be one of them
Colts may trade Jonathan Taylor ahead of NFL trade deadline; potential suitors considered

It notes that the Colts are in a pre-rebuild phase and may look to trade Jones to acquire draft picks, while the Vikings, despite initial interest in Jonathan Taylor, should prioritize Jones for their quarterback needs

Jonathan Taylor is the belle of the ball as the NFL circles the Nov. 10 trade deadline. After the Colts spent the past week beginning what many believe is a full teardown, the star running back's status and uncertain future in Indianapolis have taken center stage. While a deal can't be ruled out, it doesn't appear as if Indy has a massive appetite to move him. "After trading away two captains and two pillars of their club in DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson , the Colts are, of course, getting phone calls asking about the availability of Taylor," CBS Sports' Aditi Kinkhabwala reported on Sunday . "But I have been assured by the Colts that they are not soliciting offers for the running back and that they are not actively seeking to move him." Kinkhabwala continued, saying that Taylor had a meeting with owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon this week in which the two discussed the back's future with the team. Irsay-Gordon reportedly "didn't give him any assurances that he is definitely going to stay on the team." For his part, Taylor reaffirmed to Irsay-Gordon his love for the organization. "I have been assured by the Colts that they are not soliciting offers for the running back and that they are not actively seeking to move him." @AKinkhabwala with the latest on Jonathan Taylor trade talks. pic.twitter.com/M0LFcrpueI Earlier this week, the Colts traded Nelson to the Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, while sending Buckner to San Francisco for a 2027 fourth-rounder. When it comes to Taylor, the asking price will probably be larger than those returns, as he remains one of the top running backs in the NFL. This latest report from Kinkhabwala suggests they'd need to be blown away in order for the organization to pull the trigger on a trade. Taylor, a 2020 second-round pick out of Wisconsin, has spent the first seven years of his career in Indy. Last season, the 27-year-old led the NFL in rushing touchdowns (18) and topped 1,000 yards rushing for the fourth time in his career. Entering Week 8, Taylor has 587 yards rushing and a league-high eight rushing touchdowns. On Saturday, ESPN reported that the slew of teams interested in Taylor includes the Broncos , Packers , Vikings , Giants , and Seahawks

Running back Jonathan Taylor may not be a member of the Colts at this time next week, but he will be in their lineup in Jacksonville on Sunday
Running back Jonathan Taylor may not be a member of the Colts at this time next week, but he will be in their lineup in Jacksonville on Sunday. Taylor is active for the Colts as they try to improve on their 2-5 record in a divisional matchup with the Jaguars. The last few days have seen several reports that the Colts have stepped up talks with other clubs about trading Taylor and that gave rise to speculation that they might hold him out of the lineup in order to avoid an injury that would close the door on that possibility. Arizona took that step with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. before dealing him to the Texans last month. The Colts are taking the other route and any potential trade will likely require Taylor to come through Sunday’s game unscathed. The Colts aren’t holding wide receiver Josh Downs either. Downs requested a trade this week as he plays out the final year of his current contract as part of a Colts team that has already traded away guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald has not committed to activating running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve for Monday's game, despite Price being free of injury designations. Macdonald indicated that any roster moves involving Price would happen on Monday. This uncertainty, coupled with the return of Zach Charbonnet, suggests a potential roster crunch at running back, with players like Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, Velus Jones Jr., and Robert Henry Jr. also in the mix. Speculation about trading for Jonathan Taylor has also arisen
