Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay chooses Lolita the Orca over RB Jonathan Taylor. According to The Indy Star, Jim Irsay is paying $20 million to get an orca named Lolita released back into the Pacific Ocean.
Amid the NFL’s arms race, NFL running backs have gotten lost in the shuffle while teams look for ways to amplify their passing attacks at the expense of their backfield allies. This summer the war being waged on the ground game has neared nuclear heat levels. The stakes aren’t as high, but they’re close if you’re feenin’ for football and your squad has a running back in the market for a new deal. The New York Giants’ brief detente with Saquon Barkley doesn’t hold a candle to the air-to-ground missiles Jim Irsay, the Indianapolis Colts and Jonathan Taylor are lobbing in each other’s directions.
Taylor has spent the offseason operating with the expectation that the Colts would reward him with a contract extension amid a bleak landscape for ball carriers. No quarterback who has shown a hint of the production Taylor has would ever be subjected to the disrespect Taylor has been shown by the Colts as he embarks on the final year of his four-year rookie scale contract. Fortunately, as a second-round pick, Taylor’s employment scroll doesn’t allow a fifth-year team option. However, facing the possibility of being franchise tagged next offseason, or being lowballed if he suffers an injury, Taylor is going all out for an extension.
