Stampede Blue on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Taylor remains the centerpiece of the offense and the team's best skill player. The quarterback situation is still uncertain, Daniel Jones is trying to re-establish himself, Anthony Richardson's future with the team is cloudy, and the offense will likely need the run game to carry a major burden again.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's leverage strengthens as Colts' QB uncertainty makes him more essential to offense.
Taylor remains the centerpiece of the Colts offense and the team's best skill player, with no true replacement on the roster. The source notes the Colts have discussed reducing his workload to keep him fresher, but that is easier to say than do given his offensive centrality. His leverage stems from the Colts' dependence on him, especially with an uncertain quarterback situation (Daniel Jones trying to re-establish himself, Anthony Richardson's future cloudy) and the offense likely needing the run game to carry a major burden again. Taylor is older than during his 2023 contract dispute, but his argument may be stronger now because the Colts are more dependent on him than ever.
