Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonathan Taylor

Taylor expected to command McCaffrey-level price; most valuable skill player at deadline.

Taylor is described as 'the most valuable skill position player in the deadline mix.' Executives from multiple teams believe Taylor should command something similar to what the 49ers paid for Christian McCaffrey in October 2022: a second-, third-, and fourth-round pick in 2023 plus a 2024 fifth-round pick. Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million extension with $39 million guaranteed nearly three months ago and is 27 years old, making him a potential building block for a new regime. Unlike Nelson and Buckner (who were on expiring contracts), Taylor's age and contract suggest he could anchor a team's future.
