Daily Norseman on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Which brings me to the Jonathan Taylor trade talks/proposals/etc... the Colts want a first for Taylor... It makes too much sense to go get Taylor (if possible) to pair with Jefferson right now.
STACKED’s take
Taylor trade to Vikings could solve 2027 RB need; Colts seeking first-rounder amid multi-team interest.
The source analyzes Taylor as a potential Vikings acquisition target to address the team's 29th-ranked passing yards per game and 24th-ranked points per game offense. Taylor remains under contract through 2028 at $15M (2027) and $9.46M (2028), with a $15M signing bonus already paid by Indianapolis. The Colts have rejected a 2027 second-round pick plus additional assets, signaling they want a first-rounder. The source proposes a trade package of 2027 first, 2027 fifth, 2028 conditional fourth (bumps to third if Taylor reaches 1,400 yards and 70% snap share in 2027), and 2028 sixth as reasonable compensation. The Vikings face split-safety coverage on 41.3% of snaps designed to limit Justin Jefferson; a back like Taylor would force defenses into lighter boxes and complement Jefferson's role. Multiple teams (Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants, Seahawks) have expressed interest, with active ongoing talks as of October 31, 2026.
