Bears might target Jonathan Taylor for 2027 after solid 2026 season

ESPN's Ben Solak suggests the Chicago Bears could pursue Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor in 2027. The Bears, led by head coach Ben Johnson, feature a strong rushing offense but seek to improve despite a focus on retaining current players like D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. With Taylor entering the final year of his contract, Solak believes the Bears could benefit from waiting until next offseason to address their running back position rather than making a trade this year. This follows the speculation around Taylor given the Colts' overall performance early in the season.
