Giants and Vikings lead interest in Colts' running back Jonathan Taylor
The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings are reported to be the most active teams exploring a trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to NFL sources.
The trade market surrounding Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is drawing attention from several teams, with the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings identified as the most active in recent weeks. Albert Breer of SI.com said the Colts have indicated that any trade would require a substantial offer, and that the Giants and Vikings have been the most aggressive in pursuing running backs.
The Giants are reportedly looking for a more dynamic option to complement their existing backfield, while the Vikings, whose offense has struggled despite a strong defensive performance, see Taylor as a potential boost.
Analysts note that acquiring a player of Taylor’s caliber would likely require a package of mid- to late-round draft picks across multiple drafts, similar to past deals for high-profile running backs. It remains uncertain which team, if any, will meet the Colts’ asking price.
