Colts agree to two-year, $44 million extension with Jonathan Taylor
Indianapolis has locked up running back Jonathan Taylor on a new deal that keeps him under contract for two more seasons, according to reports.
The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension with running back Jonathan Taylor, according to reports on Thursday. The deal keeps one of the NFL’s top rushers in Indianapolis through the next two seasons.
Taylor’s agent told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that terms had been reached. CBS Sports reported that the contract places Taylor just behind Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson among the league’s highest-paid players at the position.
Taylor, a former rushing champion, has been the centerpiece of the Colts’ ground game since entering the league. The extension comes as teams across the NFL continue to commit major money to elite running backs after years of tighter spending at the position.
