Jonathan Taylor requested a trade from the Indianapolis Colts following a contract dispute, but the team announced Saturday he's sticking around.
All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts agreed on a contract extension Saturday, the team announced.
San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey and New Orleans’ Alvin Kamara are now the only running backs making more money than Taylor per year. Taylor had been frustrated with the amount of money teams are paying running backs. He complained about league owners undervaluing running backs in general, citing the $10.1 million franchise tag number. It’s the lowest of any position other than kickers or punters.Taylor returned to practice this week and was eager Thursday to put the dispute behind him and get back on the field.
The return of Taylor will bolster the Colts' offense. Zack Moss has played well in his three starts and offers a solid change-up option to the speedy 2021 NFL rushing champ. Indy also has dual-threat rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, who is the first Super Bowl era quarterback with four TD runs in his first three games.
