The Indianapolis Colts and running back Jonathan Taylor have agreed to a contract extension.
According to Ian Rapoport, this is a two-year deal worth $44 million and has a max value of $47 million. This extension includes $39 million guaranteed as well.
Taylor was set to enter the final year of his deal, but he will now remain with the Colts through the 2028 season.
Taylor made it known earlier this offseason that he would like to remain with the Colts and said once training camp was underway that he had “faith” a deal would get done.
Colts sign RB Jonathan Taylor to contract extension
Taylor remains one of the most productive backs in football, while continuing to shoulder a heavy workload out of the backfield. He played in 13 games in 2024 and all 17 games last season, rushing for 1,431 yards and 1,585 yards, respectively.
It is Taylor who sets the table for the rest of the Colts’ offense. With a strong and steady run game to lean on, that keeps the Colts out of predictable long down-and-distance situations and opens up the playbook for Steichen.
