Thoughts on the Jonathan Taylor extension

The Colts signed star running back Jonathan Taylor to a reported three-year, $42M contract extension with $26.5M guaranteed, ending a somewhat contentious stalemate. With a division matchup against the Titans looming, Indianapolis activated Taylor from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, a designation that may or may not have been a negotiating ploy. But that's water under the bridge now; Taylor slots in third in average annual value (behind Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara) and fourth in total dollars (behind McCaffrey, Kamara, and Derrick Henry) among running backs.
