Patriots Wire contributor Matt Legros outlined a hypothetical blockbuster trade scenario that would send star running back Jonathan Taylor to the New England Patriots. The proposal, published on October 31, 2026, explores what a potential deal might look like for the Indianapolis Colts' standout rusher.
Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2021 NFL rushing champion, has been the subject of trade speculation in recent seasons. The hypothetical framework discussed by Legros examines draft capital and player assets the Patriots might need to surrender to acquire the 25-year-old running back.
New England's backfield has lacked a true feature back since the departure of key contributors in recent years, making Taylor a theoretical fit for an offense seeking a workhorse runner. The Colts would likely demand significant compensation for a player of Taylor's caliber, who remains under contract through the 2026 season.
