Toldja about Stroud. It pains me as a Michigan fanboi to say anything positive about a Butteye. But it is what it is.

I'll take "good enough".Right. I’m just saying, he hasn’t come out and said “I want to be a Colt for life” either. He had the chance to do that today and he didn’t. I was just pushing back slightly on some of the fans (mainly on Twitter, not here) that are thinking it’s all sunshine and rainbows with Taylor and the Colts.

Well that changes everything.Colts, Jonathan Taylor agree to three-year, $42 million contract extension
Taylor is back on the Colts' active roster, and has agreed to a new deal.www.nbcsports.com
His current-year salary remains the same. The extension is for 2024 - 2026. So, altogether, it's 4 years, $46MM: 1 year, $4.3MM, 3 years, $42MM.Maf is hard when you input wrong.
Updated post, the deal is three years, not four. $14 million a year and $8.8 guaranteed seems high to me. But we have a rookie deal QB so there is that, give it to JT now and then give it to AR when his contract comes up.
So the Colts trade him at the end of this year? That Irsay sure is a slick one...His current-year salary remains the same. The extension is for 2024 - 2026. So, altogether, it's 4 years, $46MM: 1 year, $4.3MM, 3 years, $42MM.
I think it's more of a supply and demand kind of thing. Good/great RBs are a lot more common than great QBs.So the Colts trade him at the end of this year? That Irsay sure is a slick one...
I only half jest.
It's weird how devalued the RB position is yet no team has emliminated the position all together. I don't think the (re)advent of the running QB helps the RB cause.

THIS!It’s just the evolution of NFL offenses. Running backs are nearly important as stud wide receivers anymore.
32 out of 32 NFL teams would take a Justin Jefferson or a Ja’Marr Chase over a Johnathon Taylor or a Nick Chubb.
Basically what @DoggyDaddy said: it's supply and demand. The best QBs and the best place kickers have comparatively higher value, because a) they are in much shorter supply, and b) their skill set is in much shorter supply. Colleges churn out RB after RB, year after year - but usually only one good QB every few years. And the drop-off in talent from a QB1 to a QB2, or from a PK1 to a PK2, is sharp. The drop-off in talent from RB1 to RB2 to RB3 is simply not as great. Offenses live and die on the play of the QB, almost always taken in the first two rounds of the draft - while a RB taken in the 5th - 7th round can come in and produce, sometimes with little to no difference in production.So the Colts trade him at the end of this year?
