The relationship between Colts owner Jim Irsay and star running back Jonathan Taylor had been rocky all offseason. And somehow, they fixed it.

In a post on X after news of the deal broke, Irsay confirmed the extension and called Taylor a “SPECIAL” player who “deserves this deal.”. “There was a lot of work to be done to mend the spirit and the heart and look that everyone has their heart in the right place, and it doesn’t always come out that way when people are protecting themselves for their money and their family long-term.
We have extended Jonathan! He's a SPECIAL player and this extension is important knowing the impact he’ll make as our team develops under Shane. I have no doubt he’ll continue to create highlight plays and memories for our fans. He deserves this deal and I’m happy for him.
This became a problem for the Colts and head coach Shane Steichen, too, because Taylor was — and remains — their best offensive player, someone who compiled 1,811 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 2021 before only playing in 11 games in 2022 due to injury.Rumors of trade targets and destinations continued into the season, and it was unclear if Taylor, entering the final year of his rookie deal, would even play a game for the Colts once his injury healed.
