Colts extend Jonathan Taylor as Lions negotiate Jahmyr Gibbs contract

The Indianapolis Colts have finalized a two-year contract extension for running back Jonathan Taylor, worth $44 million, potentially increasing to $47 million through incentives. This development comes amid ongoing contract negotiations for Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, whose position is strengthened by Taylor's deal. The Lions, looking to secure Gibbs, are evaluating the rising running back market, having recently seen Atlanta sign Bijan Robinson to a lucrative contract. Both Taylor and Robinson have set new benchmarks even as Gibbs remains at the facility without participating fully in training camp. The Lions' general manager Brad Holmes confirmed negotiations are ongoing but did not indicate progress.
