According to a report from Josina Anderson of CBS Sports, the Green Bay Packers were in talks to acquire All Pro running back Jonathan Taylor from the Indianapolis Colts.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst addressed the matter, simply saying that they consider any opportunity to make the team better.
“First of all, I can't talk about players on other teams," he said. "We try to be in every conversation. Anytime we have good players available to us, we'd like to make the Green Bay Packers better, and we'll look at those opportunities. That's all I've got to say about that."
He also had the following to say about AJ Dillion, one of three running backs on the initial 53 man roster, being potentially involved in a deal:
"AJ's part of this team and he was going to be regardless," Gutekunst said. "Again, there's a lot of conversations -- we are used at times for leverage situations at times as well. But we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing if we're not investigating these things, at least listening to things. But yeah, I think it's the nature of the world now. There's all kinds of things out there, some are true, some aren't."
The NFL trade deadline falls on Halloween, October 31.
