The Jonathan Taylor saga rolls on in Indianapolis. On Wednesday the Colts activated Taylor off the PUP list. And starts a 21-day window where Taylor has to return to the field. The Colts front office and ownership have been sending mixed messages this offseason. GM Chris Ballard has said he wants Taylor to play his entire career in Indianapolis. While owner Jim Irsay has said running backs don’t have value in today’s game, and doesn’t want to pay big money to a back. There were 2 teams that reportedly entered trade discussions with the Colts for Taylor. They were the Dolphins and the Packers. But with De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert’s start to the season, it seems unlikely the Fins will be in for Taylor again. As for the Packers, I think Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon is a nice 1-2 punch.
So who are the 4 teams that should trade for Jonathan Taylor? More on that in a minute (or just scroll down). I am circling in on true contenders to make the playoffs. Could the Chicago Bears use Jonathan Taylor? Hell yes. However that seems like a bad move considering the franchise is headed towards another tear down at the end of the season. That is unless Justin Fields has a miraculous turn around. This is not me reporting these teams are in for Jonathan Taylor. But they should be if they want to improve their chances of either making the playoffs or a deep run into February. Here are the 4 teams that should trade for Jonathan Taylor.
