Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor got his wish. A little more than a week after reiterating he wanted to stay with Indy for the rest of his career, Taylor took a big step toward fulfilling that pledge by signing a two-year, $44 million contract extension, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday. The move keeps the 2021 NFL rushing champ off the free agent market next spring and comes two days after the Atlanta Falcons re-signed Bijan Robinson to a record-breaking three-year deal worth up to $75 million.

The festivities began with Colts principal owner Carly Irsay-Gordon declaring that running back Jonathan Taylor is “here to stay” after the 27-year-old tailback agreed to a two-year, $44 million contract extension.
