Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
If that's the price tag, there is no way the Broncos should be interested. It's not just the draft capital that matters—it's the fact Taylor has a massive two-year contract thereafter Denver would have to absorb.
STACKED’s take
Taylor trade too expensive; massive contract and draft capital cost outweigh short-term help.
The source argues against the Broncos trading for Jonathan Taylor despite his talent, citing two major concerns: the Colts' asking price (reportedly a first-round pick to recoup what they gave the Jets for Sauce Gardner) is too steep, and Taylor carries a massive two-year contract that Denver would have to absorb beyond the 2025 season. The source emphasizes that while Denver needs running back help, Taylor represents an expensive short-term rental when the Broncos lack draft capital after trading away four first-round picks over the past five years for Jaylen Waddle, Sean Payton, and Russell Wilson. The source concludes the Broncos are not in a position to trade away another top draft selection for an aging running back given their long-term and future needs.
