Stampede Blue on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Expect Taylor to receive an extension in the ballpark of Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey's deals annually. They are the two highest earners at the RB position and each got 2 year extensions averaging $20.6 million and $19 million per year respectively.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's extension projected at $18.7–$21.7M AAV; could reset RB market.
Taylor is actively negotiating a 3rd contract with the Colts after his current deal expires following the 2025 season. He reported fully to training camp with positive updates on negotiations, and all signs point to productive conversations between the Colts and Taylor's camp. The source projects Taylor's extension in the range of 2–3 years, $37.4–$43.3M total value, $18.7–$21.7M AAV (median $20.2M), and $17.5–$25M guaranteed (median $21.25M/$37.5M). Given the CBA's $22–$45.8M increase since Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey's 2024–2025 extensions, Taylor has the opportunity to reset the RB market and become the highest-paid RB in NFL history by exceeding Achane's extension total, Saquon's AAV, and guarantees. At age 27, a 3-year deal would pay him handsomely through his late 20s, expiring just before he turns 30.
