After months of negotiations and bad blood, running back Jonathan Taylor and the Colts finally reached an agreement on a long-term extension. Indianapolis is expected to sign the fourth-year veteran to a three-year, $42 million deal that begins next season.
The agreement came after it seemed the relationship between Taylor and the Colts was beyond repair, as Taylor at one point requested a trade, but instead they found common ground ahead of Taylor’s expected season debut on Sunday.
As a result, football analysts had plenty to say regarding Taylor, who led the league in rushing in 2021, finally getting paid.
