Taylor is at his best when he has a strong offensive line capable of creating running lanes, and removing one of the best guards in football would make his job considerably more difficult. Trading both players would effectively signal a much more aggressive offensive rebuild.

Taylor's success tied to Nelson's presence; trading both signals aggressive rebuild.

Taylor's offensive role is directly connected to Quenton Nelson's presence on the offensive line. The source notes that Taylor is at his best when he has a strong offensive line capable of creating running lanes, and removing Nelson would make his job considerably more difficult. Trading both Nelson and Taylor would effectively signal a much more aggressive offensive rebuild. The source argues that if Indianapolis trades Nelson, it would be difficult to justify retaining Taylor at his current salary without seriously reconsidering the direction of the offense.
