A report on Wednesday indicated that the Colts asked the Dolphins for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle as they discussed a trade that would send running back Jonathan Taylor to Miami.
Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier didn’t confirm that those conversations went on during what he called “exploratory talks” with the Colts about Taylor, but he said it wouldn’t have been a lengthy conversation if the Dolphins did broach the subject.
“Jaylen Waddle would not be available, no matter who they’re calling to talk about,” Grier said, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
So this means that the Colts only want top-tier return for Taylor. They had to know that the Dolphins wouldn’t accept this trade offer.
Even if you say that Waddle and Taylor have the exact same value it still doesn’t make sense.
Why would the Dolphins trade Waddle for Taylor when Waddle is a key part of there team? They wouldn’t improve they would at best stay the same.
The Colts are not serious about trading Taylor at this point.
