All the bad feelings can go away quickly when $42 million solves problems.
The Indianapolis Colts and running back Jonathan Taylor have erased the ill will — seemingly — and come to terms on a massive contract.
The deal, which was sealed on Saturday, is worth $42 million — $26.5M guaranteed — and is for three years.

This ends the drama that saw Taylor seek a trade and miss the first four weeks of the season.
He returned to practice this week and is expected to make his 2023 debut on Sunday at home against the Tennessee Titans.
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.💪
