Two former 2020 second round picks of the Indianapolis Colts, running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., are set to become prized free agents at seasons end—meaning both could be poised for early contract extensions this offseason.
The young pair remains central pillars of the Colts offense respectively, and Indianapolis has to ensure that it continues to surround rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson with bona fide weapons to better ensure his initial success and continued development.
As such, PFF has projected the duo’s potential early contract extensions:

This is going to be a tricky negotiation as all second contracts are for running backs in the current market, but Taylor could have a few things working in his favor.
