However, SportsBetting.ag offers odds on 10 potential targets for Taylor Miami Dolphins leading with +200. Next are the Chicago Bears at +250 after the market opened at +300, followed by the Buffalo Bills at +500.

The dolphinsIn the backcourt, a quartet of veterans currently consists in Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr., Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin, and rookie third-round pick De’Von Achane.

On paper, the bears seem a better fit. Khalil Herbert is back at No. 1 following the departure of David Montgomery during the season break and is currently joined by veteran D’Onta Foreman and rookie fourth-round pick Roshon Johnson.

The bills are another intriguing proposal. Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has been signed to work with speedster James Cook. Veteran journeyman Latavius ​​Murray was added and Buffalo was linked in the offseason with Cook’s brother Dalvin, who had signed with division rivals the New York Jets.

Each of the 10 teams on the list has some sort of question mark in their backbone, from the veteran crowd who will be healthy for Baltimore to who can adequately support Tony Pollard in Dallas.

Denver is counting on Javonte Williams on his return from a cruciate ligament rupture, and the Broncos added Samaje Perine as a free agent, while the Vikings are counting on a mix of Alexander Mattison, Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler and seventh-rounder DeWayne McBride as backups, with a massive void coming through the release of Dalvin Cook.

The other hurdle for teams interested in Taylor is assessing his health. He attended training for the first time in two weeks on Tuesday but remained an observer.

Taylor is struggling with an ankle injury and made it known colts After a face-to-face meeting with team owner Jim Irsay, he wanted to continue. Irsay informed Taylor that a long-term contract offer would not be extended until the end of the 2023 season.

Taylor, who is on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list following off-season ankle surgery, left the team twice during training camp, ostensibly to rehab his out-of-state ankle.

Taylor is in the final year of his contract and has a base salary of $4.3 million. Given the recent contracts for players in this position, it’s unclear what Taylor’s asking price is colts was set or whether he would consider a short-term deal to set the stage for a trade out of Indy.

The colts did not share details about the existing rehab protocol or process, and head coach Shane Steichen practically stopped talking about Taylor’s status last week.

“Now he is completing his rehab process.” colts General Manager Chris Ballard told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Hopefully we’ll get him back in the future. But we need to get him 100 percent healthy before we do anything.”

Taylor was an All-Pro in 2021 and led the NFL with 1,811 yards that year. In his three NFL seasons, he has mustered 3,841 yards on grounding with 33 touchdowns and 802 yards on receiving with three scores.
