Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor left the team’s training camp complex for the second time in a week, team officials have confirmed.
Taylor left the facility last week to continue rehabbing after the injury forced him to miss six games last season. The former Wisconsin Badgers star also has been embroiled in an ugly contract dispute as he enters the final season of his rookie contract. Taylor is scheduled to make about $4.3 million this year.
Taylor has been one of several prominent running backs leaguewide to publicly complain about how backs are valued given the franchise tag currently sits at $10.1 million — the lowest of any position other than kickers and punters. Colts owner Jim Irsay and Taylor met for about an hour in Irsay’s motorhome during the first night practice at camp.Then word leaked that Taylor had requested a trade.
The New Jersey prep star produced two 2,000-yard seasons for the Badgers and nearly did it again during his second season with the Colts when he finished with a league-best 1,811 yards. His 20 total TDs that season also tied for the most in the league. But after totaling 2,980 yards and 29 TD runs in his first two NFL seasons, Taylor missed six games because of the ankle and wound up with 861 yards, four TDs and an average of 4.5 yards per carry — all career lows.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
