Cincy Jungle on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis. Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia... The price. Both backs cost a lot, in salary and in what you'd have to send back.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's trade cost and age make him unlikely target; scheme issues, not talent, explain Brown's struggles.
Jonathan Taylor was discussed as a potential trade deadline target for the Bengals at running back, but the source argues against acquiring him. The analysis contends that Taylor's acquisition cost is prohibitive in both salary and draft capital, and that it would be uncharacteristic of Cincinnati's front office to surrender picks for a 27-plus-year-old running back on a big deal. Additionally, the source suggests that swapping Taylor in behind Cincinnati's current offensive line and scheme would not guarantee the elite version of Taylor, given that Chase Brown's struggles appear to stem from blocking and scheme rather than individual talent.
