What's next for Colts, Jonathan Taylor after trade request?

Jonathan Taylor's career has taken quite a turn since he led the NFL in rushing in 2021. The Indianapolis Colts running back struggled last season as Indy went 4-12-1, and now Taylor wants out.

Taylor, who's entering his fourth season, had wanted a lucrative extension, but it became clear that wasn't going to happen anytime soon as owner Jim Irsay has been vocal in pushing back against running backs who claim the position is underpaid.

Taylor is part of a growing number of running backs who are unhappy with their contract situation, and who believe their position should be better compensated.
