1. Jonathan Taylor is entering a pivotal contract year

Jonathan Taylor has a good case to be Indy’s best player, and one of the better players in the league. In most cases, a player of that status will be extended to a massive contract without hesitation. However, Taylor is a running back, and contract extensions for running backs usually get complicated.

That’s been on display in recent years in the NFL, and it’s currently the case with guys like Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, and Josh Jacobs of the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor is hoping for a much smoother process as he and Indianapolis works toward a deal.

In a recent conversation with the media, Taylor revealed that he and the Colts have already started having discussions and that he wishes to be with the team for all of his career. He’s also hoping to get a deal done before the season, and then he won’t really have a contract year non 2023.
