Bears consider trade for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor this season

The Chicago Bears are expected to explore a trade for running back Jonathan Taylor as they prepare for training camp in July 2026. NFL analyst Benjamin Solak predicts that the Colts, possibly entering a rebuilding phase, may part with Taylor due to his contract situation. While the Bears' current running backs, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, had a strong performance last season, Solak suggests that adding Taylor could elevate the Bears' offense. If a trade materializes, the Bears could look to replicate the compensation received by the Carolina Panthers for Christian McCaffrey. General manager Ryan Poles has been active at previous trade deadlines, making significant moves to improve the roster.
