Broncos reportedly pursuing trade for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor
Sources say Denver is actively exploring a trade for Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor as the team looks to strengthen its rushing attack before the deadline.
Denver is said to be working to acquire Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to Broncos insider Zac Stevens of DNVR. Stevens indicated that the trade could be completed soon and urged fans not to assume the deal is finished.
"I believe the Broncos are going to do everything in their power to trade for Jonathan Taylor. This could happen at any moment. You might not want to go to sleep, Broncos Country. The Broncos are going to try to pull this trade off, from my understanding. They want Jonathan Taylor now," Stevens said.
The Broncos entered the latest game with a 6-2 record and a second-place AFC West standing. Injuries have limited the availability of several backs, including JK Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie, prompting speculation that the team may seek additional depth. Rookie Jonah Coleman contributed over 100 yards from scrimmage and scored the game-winning touchdown in the recent win.
If a trade were completed, Coleman could move to a secondary role while Taylor would join a backfield that has struggled in recent seasons. The team has not confirmed any negotiations, and the trade deadline remains several weeks away.
