The Indianapolis Colts are open to trading anyone before the Nov. 20 NFL trade deadline in the wake of dismissing GM Chris Ballard.

That includes star running back Jonathan Taylor, their best offensive player.

A combined report from ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Sunday named four notable suitors inquiring about acquiring Taylor. Those teams are the Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are the Colts' opponents for Week 7.

The timing of the report is interesting. The Packers are getting back Josh Jacobs, while the Broncos are activating promising rookie Jonah Coleman. Likewise, Jordan Mason is healthy again for the Vikings. Zach Charbonnet was ruled out of his much-anticipated return for the Seahawks in Week 7, but has a good chance to play Week 8 vs. the Bears.

Knowing that and looking at all four teams' overall backfield situations, here's the best and worst fit for Taylor.

POWER RANKINGS: Bears, Steelers and Packers bump up

Ranking Jonathan Taylor's rumored landing spots

1. Denver Broncos

The Broncos had high hopes for Coleman before the season, and he flashed some of it before hurting his ankle in Week 2 and landing on short-term injured reserve. JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey form the rest of the committee trying to support struggling Bo Nix with enough of a rushing attack plus reliable short-area receiving.

Denver typically uses Dobbins to run and Harvey as a passing game outlet. Coleman offers a little juice in both areas. A trade for Taylor, however, would clean everything up with a clear three-down workhorse.

The Broncos' run-blocking potential remains untapped, and Taylor can make it look a lot better. He could flip Denver's offense to being a lot more reliable under Sean Payton.

2. Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings have a bit of a mess with Mason rejoining Aaron Jones Sr.

In a surprise, the Vikings have gone from one of the league's pass-happiest teams under Kevin O'Connell (57 percent in 2025) to one of the league's run-heaviest teams (49 percent in 2026). They want to run the ball better to take pressure off Kyler Murray as the new QB still tries to get into a consistent groove throwing the ball to talented targets.

Minnesota got a good long look at how explosive and versatile Taylor is on the other side of the field in Week 7. The Vikings should be more locked in on getting Taylor going forward.

3. Seattle Seahawks

Charbonnet is on the verge of returning. Jadarian Price would be eligible to return from injured reserve (chest) in Week 8, too. The Seahawks are regretting the decision to let Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III walk in free agency to the Chiefs. Getting Taylor would be a good rebound to help them run a more balanced offense again, with Sam Darnold struggling.

But given Charbonnet was a big part of their backfield success last season and a healthy Price can replace the presence of Walker in early-down power situations, the Seahawks would be better off sticking with that committee. They also have a decent option in former Packers backup Emanuel Wilson.

4. Green Bay Packers

The Packers have Jacobs in the mix with MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson. Green Bay also has transformed into a 66 percent passing team, trusting Jordan Love to go downfield often to wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.

The results have been great there, with Love having his best season. They need a little more punch in the complementary running game, which has been happening of late.

Jacobs' return is good enough without needing to deal for Taylor.
