On Wednesday, a report from ESPN claimed that the Green Bay Packers attempted to trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. When asked about it in his previously scheduled press conference following cutdowns, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated that he couldn’t talk about players who weren’t on his roster and seemed to blame the leak on the Colts attempting to drive up the price on the running back.
Later that day, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported that it was a scout who contacted the Colts about a potential trade for Taylor, not even Gutekunst himself.
