What should a contract extension for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor look like?

I’m not necessarily opposed to paying him that much provided he’s healthy and it’s a relatively short contract. He’s the best in the league when healthy, imo.

If Taylor wants to reset the market for all the RBs he can do it somewhere else. If if he wants to be fairly compensated for his value then he needs to get his ass on the field and prove he’s health AND not just a 2 down back. Show them the receiving skills. Show them he can pass protect. Show them how dangerous a combo he and AR can make. This team has a history of paying their own, and paying them well. But if he’s looking for a statement he can make it elsewhere. Unfortunately that’s sounding more and more likely.
