The Indianapolis Colts and Jonathan Taylor have been at odds for quite some time now. The star running back made it clear he wants one of two things. Either a new contract that pays him top running back money, or a trade to a new team.
The Colts reportedly shopped Taylor for a short amount of time and had a few teams reach out with interest. The Colts’ asking price, however, was much too large for what teams were willing to give up. Most notably the Colts asked the Dolphins for Jaylen Waddle and asked the Packers for Christian Watson. Neither team was going to agree to that. That asking price may have just taken a dip though.
The Indianapolis Colts Drastically Rethink Their Asking Price For Star Running Back Jonathan Taylor
ESPN’s Stephen Holder previously reported that the Colts were seeking a first-round pick or something close to that in exchange for Taylor. A new report from Holder now suggests that the Colts have reduced their asking price for the 24-year-old:
“If Taylor is moved, here’s what matters: The Colts want real value from any potential trade. It’s why no deal got done in August. They asked for a package of picks amounting to a first-round pick, but the reality is they’d settle for something a bit less.
They seem determined to not just give him away and will play hardball, if necessary. Another complicating factor: A team that trades for Taylor will have to weigh whether to sign him to a new deal.”
Any team who is able get Jonathan Taylor for less than a first-round draft pick would be a win. It will be interesting to see if the phone lines open back up in Indianapolis and if another NFL team has some serious inquiries.
