Jonathan Taylor requested a trade from the Indianapolis Colts before the start of the season. Thus far, none has materialized.
Teams are still interested in Taylor, who has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start the season following offseason ankle surgery.
According to AtoZSports’ Destin Adams, seven teams have inquired about Taylor: the Bills, Chiefs, Commanders, Dolphins, Packers, Rams and Steelers.
Adams’ report has sparked reaction from fans of those squads and others on social media.
“Honestly feel like the Dolphins interest is mostly to keep him from Buffalo,” theorized a Dolphins fan. “We’ve got some great RBs already, you CANNOT let him go to Buffalo. Cook is already great, can’t have an elite guy there too.”
