The Denver Broncos are reportedly doing everything in their power to trade for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor. According to DNVR’s Broncos insider Zac Stevens, this deal could go down at any moment, and Broncos fans might not want to go to sleep just yet because Denver wants Taylor *now*. Stevens put it bluntly: “I believe the Broncos are going to do everything in their power to trade for Jonathan Taylor. This could happen at any moment… The Broncos are going to try to pull this trade off, from my understanding. They want Jonathan Taylor now.”
Denver Is Hunting Hard For A Super Boost
This isn’t just some casual interest; this is a full-court press. The Broncos are coming off a huge, thrilling win that pushed them to a 6-2 record on the year, giving them the lead in the AFC West. Right now, they’re sitting pretty as the number 2 seed in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Colts are apparently imploding, kicking off a fire sale this past week. Denver has been whispered as a potential suitor for Taylor since the start, and now, with their strong early season form, they’re looking to go “all in” and add one of the NFL’s best backs to their offense. This move screams serious intent, aiming to bolster an offense already feeling good.
RB Room Needs A Shake-Up
You might be asking why a team leading their division and ranked so high would be this aggressive for a running back. Well, while rookie Jonah Coleman exploded for over 100 yards from scrimmage in their last game, including a clutch 50+ yard catch and run that set up the go-ahead touchdown, the rest of the Broncos’ running back room is either struggling or sidelined. Veteran JK Dobbins’ struggles continued in the last game, and he reportedly unfollowed the Broncos on social media last week, even getting into a “kinda heated back-and-forth” with insider Mike Klis. Plus, second-year back RJ Harvey was just placed on the short-term IR this week, joining Tyler Badie. So, yeah, you can make a strong case that they *need* to add a major piece to that backfield.
If they pull this off, the Broncos could have one of the best run games in the NFL. Hypothetically, Taylor stepping in would turn Coleman into a dynamic 1B option, giving Denver a one-two punch that would be tough to stop. Their run game has reportedly struggled in recent years, so this could be a massive boost to the entire offense, making life a whole lot easier for quarterback Bo Nix. We’ll find out if this trade goes down tonight or in the coming days, but the noise out of Denver is deafening. They want Taylor, and they want him now.
