Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonathan Taylor

Source proposes Vikings trade for Taylor; argues he's worth premium picks given weak RB market.

The source discusses the possibility of the Vikings trading for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, proposing a package of 2027 1st, 2nd, and 5th round picks plus a 2028 3rd round pick in exchange for Taylor and draft capital back. The source argues Taylor acquisition would be worthwhile given the weak 2027 free agent running back class (Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason both hitting free agency) and the below-average 2027 RB draft class. The source also notes that if Taylor joins the Vikings and Justin Jefferson continues to play well, 'this place will explode,' suggesting significant offensive upside potential.
