RUMOR: Despite Rejection, AFC Heavyweight Remains Optimistic About Clinching Jonathan Taylor Trade Without Increasing Their Bid.
The Miami Dolphins remain optimistic about acquiring Jonathan Taylor, despite their initial offer being turned down by the Indianapolis Colts.
Negotiations continue between the teams, with the Colts reportedly holding out for a first-round pick in exchange for the All-Pro running back. According to the NFL Notifications X account, citing Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, the Dolphins believe their proposal was fair and currently have no plans to enhance their bid. Jackson clarified that he didn't suggest the Dolphins wouldn't reconsider their offer, but the account maintained the latter was based on their sources.
On the other hand, the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears are also said to be in the running for Taylor. However, it appears no team has yet matched the Colts' asking price of a first-round selection.
Taylor, who spends his offseason training in Miami and even owns a property there, reportedly would welcome a move to the Dolphins. That said, he is open to offers from other teams. Set to earn $4.3 million in 2023, the final year of his rookie contract, Taylor is looking for a change after not receiving a new deal from the Colts. He has been granted permission to explore trade opportunities.
With a Tuesday deadline looming for a potential trade, former Dolphins executive Mike Tannenbaum expressed skepticism that a deal would be finalized by then.
