Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reached agreement on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, including $26.5M guaranteed

Sources to ESPN: Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reached agreement on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, including $26.5M guaranteed, that makes him one of the league’s highest-paid RBs and clears him to make his season debut Sunday vs. Titans.

Taylor becomes the first RB to land a long-term deal worth $10 million or more per year since Nick Chubb in 2021 — almost 800 days ago.

After months of animosity, Colts owner Jim Irsay, GM Chris Ballard, exec Mike Bluem and Taylor’s representatives Malki Kawa and Ethan Lock finally came together and successfully negotiated a contract extension. Each side gets what it wants.

Colts GM Chris Ballard reached out to Taylor‘s camp last week and initiated dialogue that led to this. A massive about-face for both sides involved. -- (link) - Remlik Oct 7, 10:00 2
- I wonder if he first reached out to Jim and asked him to keep his mouth closed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 10:22 1

Every time I see this name, my mind momentarily misdirects me to Johnathan Taylor Thomas. - ReluctantCynic Oct 7, 09:36 4
