Blockbuster Trade Proposal Unites Jonathan Taylor with Dynamic QB, A Potential Nightmare for the NFL
Colts' standout running back Jonathan Taylor has emerged as a major trade buzz name as the NFL's Week 1 approaches.
ESPN's Adam Schefter disclosed on Monday that the AFC South squad has given Taylor the green light to explore trade opportunities. Now 24, Taylor is on the brink of concluding his rookie contract. Max Dible from Heavy.com suggests an intriguing trade scenario where the Chicago Bears acquire Taylor, setting up a formidable duo with dynamic QB Justin Fields:
«With the flexibility to put together an enticing offer, the Bears could bundle several non-first-round picks, and possibly include their 2023 recruit D'Onta Foreman, to secure Taylor.
Foreman, with a budget-friendly contract, had an impressive stint with the Carolina Panthers last season. A proposal sending him to the Colts, coupled with a 2024 second-round pick and a fourth-rounder from Chicago, seems a feasible option, especially for a Bears team that's restructuring but still has a competitive edge in the NFC North Division.»Interestingly, DraftKings places the Miami Dolphins in the lead to nab Taylor with odds at +250, with the Bears trailing at +400.
Fields showcased his running prowess last season, amassing 1,143 yards and securing seven touchdowns. He sits right behind Lamar Jackson, who set the QB rushing record in 2019 with 1,206 yards.
Foreman's best performance came last season with 914 yards for the Panthers. Meanwhile, Khalil Herbert, who stood behind David Montgomery in the Bears' lineup, achieved 731 yards even after missing a quartet of games. With Fields, Herbert, and Foreman, the Bears already have a trio capable of achieving 1,000-yard seasons. While Taylor might not be a dire need, he's a tantalizing prospect if the terms are right.
Two seasons ago, Taylor topped NFL rushers with an impressive 1,811 yards. The prospect of Taylor joining forces with Fields on the ground is a daunting proposition for their competitors.
