There are already a number of suitors interested in acquiring Taylor. According to Schefter and Rapoport, the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks are among the teams who have inquired.
I hope that neither the Fudgies or the Queens get their hands on him.
I think they’ll want a 1st and I doubt any team bites.
Just hoping it’s not Minnesota
Giants my best guess and trade us Motor
Broncos also interesting… Dobbins and 1st and they get a pick back in the deal…
The Vikings are the second-worst 6-0 team by DVOA this century. If they want to throw away resources for an all-in attempt, be my guest. That luck won’t hold.
Great news as a Seth McGowan owner in a dynasty league
The Giants going all in is similarly odd.
It feels like our division rivals are often on that side of the ball bounce.
Vikings know they’re about to go on a three-game losing streak and they’re going to try to get in the middle of that. Who really should get into that is Denver. Taylor needs to stay in the AFC
I think with an elite defense and run game with Jon Taylor you would be have as good a shot as anybody. Then factor in JJ Addison Hock
I would if I was them.
Giants making a splash for big time RB for Harbaugh puts them as NFCE favorites
Derrick Henry
Saquan
Ken Walker
Look at the last few times a big name RB changed teams . Very successful
GB seems like a weird fit, having Jacobs back and all. Unless they think he’s in significantly more trouble than they originally thought
You forgot CMC and beast mode.
That said, very small sample size overall, and there have been cases where it didn’t work as well (Etienne got just a bit less than Ken Walker and the same as Saquon and hasn’t done anything, LeVeon, Melvin Gordon to Denver, DeMarco Murray by Philly, etc…)
It has worked out more than it hasn’t of late, but again, very tiny sample size.
It does feel like the football gods hate us more than the rest of the division
I don’t put Etienne, Demarco etc in that tier.i don’t even know who Gordon is.
I think franchise RB changing teams is about the highest correlation for success as you can find for any position

Saquan
Ken Walker

Marshawn
That’s a lot of Super Bowls. Balt, Philly, KC, SF, Sea
Yeah but that’s hindsight. Murray’s contract was the largest one ever for a RB at the time. Etienne got paid as much as Saquon and almost as much as Walker. And on that list only Barkley and Marshawn went on to win Super Bowls with the teams who paid up for them.
And I’m not saying it’s a bad idea in general, I’m just saying all of these examples are just sample size issues. The next five may do nothing for their new teams. I think the reason it tends to work out is because RB is often a “final piece” maneuver, so they’re already going to really good teams.
Which, I don’t think Minnesota is. They’re a 4-3 team masquerading as a 6-0 team. I’d be more than shocked if a team QB’d by Kyler Murray ever won a Super Bowl. He’s a talented guy, he just doesn’t give enough of af
Same my biggest concern is Vikings getting him. It’s just a perfect fit.
