Taylor demanding an extension ahead of the last year of his Colts rookie contract, and not after it, is an important factor in his dispute.
earlier this summer, there was very little Jacobs could do to strong-arm the Raiders into giving him a lucrative multiyear contract. Because the Raiders had designated him as their franchise player, they controlled his rights and maintained all of the leverage in negotiations.
Jacobs, who made $2.2 million last season, certainly could have refused to play this season rather than accept the tag. But it’s hard to forfeit $10 million-plus, and sitting out a season in the prime of one’s career also features several risks. It’s hard to make that money back. And there’s nothing to say that — given the short career life of running backs — Jacobs would ever manage to regain top form after a year away from the game .
While at odds with the Colts, Taylor didn’t play or practice this preseason. He has spent the last month on the physically unable to perform list because of the ankle surgery he had in January. But Taylor is healthy. He wouldn’t pursue a trade if he weren’t, because a clean physical is required to trigger the deal. And as the season draws closer, Taylor’s leverage appears to have strengthened.to trade him.
