The Denver Broncos explored a trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, but the asking price proved too steep to complete a deal, according to a report from Broncos Wire.
Jon Heath reported that Denver made a run at the All-Pro running back, though the Colts' trade demands ultimately prevented an agreement. Specific details of the compensation sought by Indianapolis were not disclosed.
Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been the subject of trade speculation in recent seasons amid contract negotiations with the Colts. The 25-year-old rushed for 1,181 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2023 despite missing the first four games of the season.
The Broncos' interest signals a desire to upgrade their backfield, though the team ultimately declined to meet Indianapolis' valuation for one of the league's premier rushers.
