Overview
- Taylor said on Wednesday that there have been “some good conversations” and that he “has faith” a new deal with the Colts will be reached.
- He is entering the final season of the three‑year, $42 million extension he signed in October 2023 and has no guaranteed money left on that contract.
- Taylor is attending training camp and has no plans to stage a hold‑in, a far calmer stance than his public 2023 dispute with team ownership.
- Colts owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon and general manager Chris Ballard have publicly signaled they are open to extensions for franchise pillars, while the team keeps exclusive negotiating rights with Taylor through March 2027 and could use a 2027 franchise tag as leverage.
- Recent large running back deals and high‑profile holdouts around the league could raise Taylor’s market value, which may shape the timing and size of any Indianapolis extension and affect the team’s salary cap planning.
