Running Backs Are Getting Paid | Indianapolis Colts News

Running backs are back in the spotlight—Jonathan Taylor just signed a massive two-year, $44 million extension with the Colts, making him the highest-paid RB on third contracts ever, with $39M guaranteed. Coming off a stellar season with 18 rushing TDs and 1,585 yards, Taylor’s deal (averaging $22M/year) puts him behind only Bijan Robinson ($25M avg.) but ahead of Saquon Barkley. This surge signals a new era for the position, with Jahmyr Gibbs likely next in line for a payday. The tide is turning—and ball carriers are cashing in.
