The Minnesota Vikings have been eyeing the sweepstakes for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. They have been frequently linked to the running back over the course of the last couple of days. Now, a new report from Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz lends credence to that. Schultz indicated that the Vikings are among the teams that have checked in on the running back.
Taylor has been long-linked to the Vikings, especially over the past couple of weeks. Most recently, it was reported that the odds of the Vikings landing Taylor were slim. Now, it appears that they are at least trying to maintain their interest in the running back. The price for Taylor will probably be high. This is something that Schultz alluded to in his post on social media.
As the #Colts continue to field trade offers for star RB Jonathan Taylor, sources say the Vikings, Giants, Broncos, Bengals and Packers are among the teams that have checked in. The asking price is believed to be too high right now, but sources do believe a trade is leaning to be more likely than not at this point.
