Colts reportedly coming down in their asking price for Jonathan Taylor

The Indianapolis Colts may be willing to come down a little on their laughably high asking price for running back Jonathan Taylor, per ESPN’s Stephen Holder.

Indy, which had been seeking at least a first-round pick or value equivalent to a first-rounder, had been boldly asking inquiring teams for players considered to be off limits such as star third-year receiver Jaylen Waddle of the Miami Dolphins and second-year wideout Christian Watson of the Green Bay Packers, who averaged 14.9 yards per reception and scored seven touchdowns as a rookie last year.

But according to Holder, if the Colts do move Taylor when he’s activated from the PUP list in a few weeks, they’re willing to be a little more realistic with what they’ll take in return.

“They asked for a package of picks amounting to a first-round pick, but the reality is they'd settle for something a bit less,” Holder wrote. “They seem determined to not just give him away and will play hardball, if necessary. Another complicating factor: A team that trades for Taylor will have to weigh whether to sign him to a new deal."
