Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million contract extension, ensuring he remains with the team. The deal was confirmed by a source who requested anonymity as the team had not officially announced the terms.
This contract prevents Taylor from entering free agency next spring and comes shortly after the Atlanta Falcons re-signed another running back, Bijan Robinson, to a significant deal. Taylor had previously expressed his desire to remain with the Colts for his entire career.
The extension keeps Taylor under contract through 2028, and he has shown reliability on the field despite previous injury struggles. The Colts view Taylor as a crucial player who impacts their offensive strategy significantly.
印第安纳波利斯小马队与2021年联赛冲球冠军乔纳森·泰勒签署为期两年的4400万美元合同
印第安纳波利斯小马队的跑卫乔纳森·泰勒签署了一份为期两年的4400万美元合同续约，确保他继续留在球队。这一交易由一位要求匿名的消息人士确认，因为球队尚未正式公布条款。
该合同阻止泰勒在明年春天进入自由市场，并且是在亚特兰大猎鹰队与另一名跑卫比詹·罗宾逊签署一份重要合同后不久达成的。泰勒此前曾表达了希望终身效力于小马队的愿望。
这份续约合同使泰勒的合同延续到2028年，尽管他之前经历了一些伤病困扰，但在场上的可靠性得到了体现。小马队视泰勒为一名关键球员，他对球队的进攻策略产生了重要影响。
