Packers Get Discouraging Trade Message On Colts' Jonathan Taylor

Despite ongoing interest, the Green Bay Packers face significant hurdles in a potential trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor as the NFL trade deadline approaches. The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman cast doubt on Green Bay pursuing Taylor, Breece Hall, or Tony Pollard, arguing that Green Bay’s run-game issues may stem more from blocking than from the running back position. Even if Taylor’s talent isn’t the problem, his cost could be high, potentially requiring a first-round pick, and Green Bay already traded its 2027 first-round selection to Dallas in the Micah Parsons deal. Schneidman also questioned whether the Packers would part with two middle-round picks. The Packers are averaging only 60.6 rushing yards per game entering Week 10. Meanwhile, Josh Jacobs returned in October and remains under an NFL investigation involving additional allegations.
