The Indianapolis Colts are officially open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the upcoming trade deadline, and get this, the Seattle Seahawks are among the teams that have shown some level of interest. That’s right, the Emerald City’s own are reportedly in the mix for one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers, according to NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
Indy’s Fire Sale Isn’t Stopping
This isn’t just about Taylor, folks. The Colts have been having a full-blown fire sale, already shipping off Quenton Nelson to our Seahawks (remember that move?) and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers. Now, they’re reportedly not done yet, putting their star RB on the block. Beyond the Broncos, who Schefter and Rapoport say have shown interest, other teams reportedly in the conversation include the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Giants. The Vikings are currently being floated as the frontrunner for Taylor, but as any true fan knows, things in the NFL can change on a dime. Circumstances shift, and a team’s desperation to land a player can crank up in a heartbeat.
What’s The Price Tag For A Game Changer?
So, what’s it going to take to pry Taylor away from Indianapolis? Reports suggest the asking price is around a second-round pick plus more. Personally, for a player of Taylor’s caliber, that sounds like a steal if you ask me. It seems the Colts haven’t been thrilled with the offers they’ve heard so far, which is why they’re reportedly telling teams to send in their *best offers now*. You gotta wonder what kind of desperate bids are about to come flying in. Just look at the Broncos, for example. Their run game has been struggling to start the season, with veteran JK Dobbins not looking like the back they hoped for, and second-year running back RJ Harvey recently suffering a knee injury. Rookie running back Jaleel Coleman, who had just taken over the backfield, will get the start against the Chiefs this Sunday. If he struggles, those Taylor talks are only going to intensify for some teams.
This is a real opportunity for Seattle. Imagine what a player like Jonathan Taylor could bring to the offense and what it could mean for our season. All eyes are on Indianapolis as the trade deadline looms, and the Seahawks are reportedly right there, ready to talk.
