Jonathan Taylor to the Buffalo Bills

Up until a few seasons ago, any star seeking Buffalo as a destination was basically unheard of, but with the rise in stardom of Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the team knocking on the door as of late, Buffalo has become an alluring place to be.

In an offense that features the Allen to Stephon Diggs connection and a duo of young tight ends in Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, the one thing missing is a stud running back.

No shade to second year running back James Cook and former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris, but what Jonathan Taylor would bring to the Bills’ offense would make them pretty much unstoppable, especially with what Allen can do with his legs from the quarterback position.

With the Diggs trade a few seasons ago, the Bills aren’t afraid to pull the trigger on a potential trade, but the question with Buffalo is do they have the assets to outbid another team?  If would take a lower-round pick and a player to land Taylor, Buffalo is a team in prime position because of the young talent they have.

Could they offer a second or a third along with Cook or another young offensive weapon like Gabe Davis to land the Colts star?

If the Bills feel they can get over the hump with a stud running back like Taylor, they may be willing to offer a little more, especially if it keeps him away from an AFC East rival.
