Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonathan Taylor

Taylor trade target for Vikings; source would pay 2027 2nd/5th + 2028 3rd.

The source reports the Colts do not 'inherently' want to trade Taylor but would move him for a real offer; the source advocates strongly for acquiring Taylor, stating 'I would without hesitation' trade a 2027 2nd, 2027 5th, and 2028 3rd for him, arguing that Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are both free agents, there are no good backs as free agents next year, and the team will likely have to spend a first or second to get a decent back in the draft. The source identifies running back as the Vikings' top need and notes that if acquired before Week 8 the Vikings would owe Taylor 5.3M in salary for the rest of the season, or 4.8M if acquired after Week 8.
