First, there was speculation. Now, there are rumblings.

The Denver Broncos could be among the teams that will consider making a move for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the NFL trade deadline (Nov. 10), according to multiple reports.

"The Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and Vikings are among the teams that have pondered, or are expected to consider, the possibility of a trade for the star running back," Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter wrote for ESPN on Sunday.

A few hours after that story was published, Schefter said this on ESPN: "There's going to be a lot of interest in Taylor around the league. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings, the Denver Broncos and the Green Bay Packers [could pursue Taylor]."

Notably, neither update specifically said the Broncos have already reached out about Taylor. That might happen, but as of now, the reporting is that they are "expected to consider" a potential trade. So, we'll see what develops in the coming days.

The NFL's trade deadline is still just over two weeks away, and Denver just got Jonah Coleman back from injured reserve, giving them three healthy RBs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Coleman. A team that acquires Taylor would likely have to trade a first-round draft pick in exchange for the running back's expensive contract.
