MASSIVE SETBACKA: Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ended contract with the team considering contract negotiation with 49ers.
In a startling change of events, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has terminated his contract with the organization, with sources claiming that he is looking for a new beginning with the San Francisco 49ers.
The decision comes after months of conflict between Taylor and the Colts management, with the star running back apparently dissatisfied with his current deal and a perceived lack of respect in the dressing room. “Jonathan Taylor is one of the best running backs in the league, and he deserves to be treated as such,” stated a source familiar with the matter.
According to multiple reports, Taylor had been seeking a contract extension from the Colts for several months, but was rebuffed by the team’s front office, which reportedly believed that the running back’s performance did not warrant a significant raise.
The situation came to a head last week, when Taylor reportedly confronted Colts head coach Frank Reich about his role in the offense and his perceived lack of support from the team’s front office.
“Jonathan is not the kind of player who is going to sit back and let people walk all over him,” said one teammate.
Taylor is now a free agent, and numerous teams are reportedly interested in signing the talented running back, with the 49ers being the frontrunners.
San Francisco has reportedly offered Taylor a hefty contract that would place him among the highest-paid running backs in the league, and people close to the matter believe the organization is eager to give him the respect and credit he believes he deserves. “Jonathan Taylor is going to be a great fit for the 49ers,” one NFL analyst said.
