Hypothetical blockbuster trade for Patriots to land RB Jonathan Taylor
Should the Patriots pursue Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor in a trade?
The New England Patriots have a significant opportunity to trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor is currently available for potential deals, and Indianapolis is open to receiving offers for him. A trade with New England could present Indianapolis with the chance to restructure its offensive backfield and acquire multiple assets for the future.
The proposed deal involves Boston sending Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson to Indianapolis in exchange for Taylor and either an offensive lineman or wide receiver Deion Burks. This trade would benefit both teams greatly. Taylor has been exceptional this season, rushing for 587 yards and leading the NFL with eight touchdowns.
His best performance came in 2021 when he set league records for rushing yards and touchdowns. Taylor's explosive abilities would greatly enhance the Patriots' offense. Stevenson, on the other hand, has contributed 285 yards and two touchdowns this year, along with 204 receiving yards and a touchdown. As a former 1,000-yard rusher, he would provide Indianapolis with a dependable ground game option alongside Henderson.
Henderson nearly reached 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, finishing with 911 yards and nine touchdowns. He currently has 203 yards and a touchdown this season. Overall, the combination of Stevenson and Henderson would give Indianapolis a mix of experience and star potential, providing them with a valuable asset to complement their already impressive roster, while New England would secure an elite player to push for a championship at the season's end.
