 Chester Taylor-RB- VikingsFeb. 3 - 9:58 am et
Beat writer Sean Jensen speculates that the Bears could show interest in impending unrestricted free agent Chester Taylor.
Taylor says he wants to go somewhere he can be a starter, but that's not going to happen at age 31. He'd be a nice fit in Mike Martz's system as an excellent pass protector and receiver out of the backfield. Still, with Matt Forte entrenched as the starter we'd expect Taylor to look for a spot where he can get more touches. The Vikings could also opt to retain Taylor by using a transition or franchise tag on him.

 Chester Taylor-RB - Vikings Feb. 1 - 1:51 pm et

Vikings.com expects the team to make a serious run at re-signing impending free agent Chester Taylor.
Beat writer Mike Wobschall rightly suggests that Taylor has more value to Minnesota than most clubs. Wobschall goes so far as to say the Vikes may use a transition or franchise tag on Taylor. Taylor turns 31 before next season, so he wouldn't draw interest as a starting candidate elsewhere.

 Chester Taylor-RB - Vikings Jan. 24 - 11:30 pm et

Chester Taylor ran six times for 28 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in the Vikings' NFC Championship Game loss.
Taylor saw an uptick in touches when it appeared Adrian Peterson was briefly benched for fumbling, and had a big 14-yard run up the gut in the fourth quarter. Now headed for unrestricted free agency, Taylor may try to max out on what figures to be his last NFL contract. He turns 31 before next season, however, and won't draw interest from teams needing a featured back.
 Chester Taylor-RB - Vikings Jan. 3 - 3:53 pm et

Chester Taylor rushed seven times for 12 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards in Week 17 against the Giants.
Taylor remained a big asset in the passing game as Adrian Peterson's backup, catching 44 balls for 389 yards, but got fewer than 100 carries for the first time since 2003 and averaged under 4.0 yards per rush for the first time since his rookie season.
 Chester Taylor-RB - Vikings Dec. 29 - 12:51 am et

Chester Taylor rushed for 29 yards on eight carries and caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 16.
Taylor saw a good amount of snaps early on but didn't do much in the second half. He is a simple handcuff to Adrian Peterson.
 Chester Taylor-RB - Vikings Dec. 13 - 4:44 pm et

Chester Taylor rushed five times for 25 yards and added two catches for 32 yards in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Taylor set up Adrian Peterson's first touchdown with a 26-yard catch. He remains a simple handcuff to "All Day."
