Week 1 was bittersweet for the Baltimore Ravens.
Mark Andrews wasn’t there, but they still defeated the Houston Texans.
The running back J.K. Dobbins was lost, though for the remainder of the year after tearing his Achilles in the first game.
Following the game, John Harbaugh and his Ravens teammates were devastated.
The running back position could also use a boost, despite the fact that the team of Gus Edwards and Justice Hill performed admirably.
To demand a trade for Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor, Ravens supporters immediately took to social media. Taylor had spent the entire offseason talking about a new contract or a trade, and as a result, he was put on the PUP list because no one could come to an agreement to let him go.
Jonathan Taylor Should Be Traded, according to Ravens supporters.
Although there were teams interested, the Colts were unable to find Taylor a suitable trade partner before the deadline to place him on the PUP.
But according to all reports, the Colts demanded more than what the other teams were willing to offer.
The Taylor-Ravens rumors, however, persisted after the game due to the Ravens losing Dobbins for the year and his contract expiring at the end of the campaign.
Kyle Sloter, a former quarterback in the NFL and USFL, contributed to the discussion by writing, “Wonder if Jonathan Taylor to the Ravens makes sense?
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him end up there.
“.
On both sides, there should be a discussion, as Jeremy Brener of Ravens Country noted in his postgame column:.
Jonathan Taylor, a star for the Indianapolis Colts who is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List, is looking to be traded after the team and he were unable to come to terms on a contract extension.
In order to fill a void in the backfield, the Ravens might be interested.
It would be expensive, and rumors suggested that the Colts were interested in both Miami Dolphins’ Jaylen Waddle and Green Bay Packers’ Christian Watson.
Resumption of Jonathan Taylor Trade Talks is anticipated.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network stated on the opening Sunday of the 2023 NFL season that Taylor trade negotiations would probably pick back up soon:.
Given that starting running back Jonathan Taylor will remain on the PUP list at least through the Colts’ Week 4 game against the Rams, there will likely be a question mark over the Colts’ ability for the remainder of the season.
The possibilities and scenarios that follow are numerous. And as sources explained, all possibilities are now on the table.
According to sources, Taylor is in good health and could probably pass a physical exam today if one were required.
This means that as soon as it is possible, he will be taken off the PUP list.
Taylor was placed on the PUP list as a result of failed trade negotiations, delaying his opportunity to play again until Week 5.
Taylor is therefore in good health, and trade calls should start to circulate once more, especially as the time for Taylor’s activation off the PUP list draws near.
It still makes sense, and the next few weeks will be interesting in terms of the Jonathan Taylor trade. Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Odell Beckham Jr. comprise the offense. Jonathan Taylor is a fantastic performer, too.
On September 24, the Ravens play host to the Colts.
