After an offseason of misery for running backs looking for new contracts, Jonathan Taylor scored a win for the position when he secured a long-term deal from the Indianapolis Colts.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Taylor has agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension with $26.5 million guaranteed.
The $42 million in total value for Taylor's new contract makes it the fifth-richest active deal for a running back, almost split right down the middle of contracts for Aaron Jones ($48 million) and Nick Chubb ($36.6 million).
A 2021 All-Pro selection, Taylor spent most of the summer locked in a battle with the Colts over his contract.
