Cincinnati Bengals are being urged to pursue a trade for star running back Jonathan Taylor, according to a report from Bengals Wire. Columnist Duncan Day argues the team should part with a first-round draft pick to acquire the Indianapolis Colts' standout rusher.
The suggestion comes as Cincinnati looks to bolster its offense around quarterback Joe Burrow. Taylor, a former NFL rushing champion, would provide an immediate upgrade to the backfield. However, the Colts have historically sought significant compensation for the 25-year-old playmaker.
Any potential deal would likely require the Bengals to surrender premium draft capital, a move that carries risk given the team's other roster needs. The NFL trade deadline approaches on November 5, 2026, adding urgency to any negotiations.
