Jonathan Taylor contract: Indianapolis Colts fans react to two-year extension

The Indianapolis Colts have reached a two-year contract extension with their running back Jonathan Taylor, extending his stay with the team through the 2028 season. The deal is worth up to $44 million, slightly less per season than the recently signed contract of Bijan Robinson with the Atlanta Falcons. Taylor, who is only seven years into his career, has the potential to surpass the Colts' all-time rushing yards record this season, currently held by Edgerrin James.

He has already broken the team record with 69 rushing touchdowns, adding two receiving touchdowns to his tally. Taylor's contract includes a $15 million signing bonus and $39 million in guaranteed salary, with his 2026 cap hit set at $15.5 million. Fans have expressed their support for the contract extension, praising Taylor's consistent performance and acknowledging it as a smart move for both the player and the team, barring any potential injury issues.
