Trade Talks Intensify as 49ers Linked to Colts' Jonathan Taylor
Analysts said the San Francisco 49ers were being discussed as a potential trade target for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to NBC Sports, and the speculation grew as the NFL trade deadline loomed. The Colts had opened trade talks for Taylor earlier in the season, seeking a first-round pick and drawing interest from teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals. Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Taylor remained on the roster while the club maintained a high asking price and planned to review offers after its Week 9 game against Dallas.
