Jonathan Taylor sitting over contract dispute?

Colts GM Chris Ballard suggested Tuesday that RB Jonathan Taylor landing on the PUP list has more to do with contract negotiations than his ankle. Ballard said he and Taylor were scheduled to have a "long conversation" on Tuesday. “Like I’ve always told you, you pay good players, you pay players that are going to help you win, regardless of the position,” Ballard added. It's worth noting that owner Jim Irsay said Taylor was "healed up" a few weeks ago. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Taylor -- both his health and contract situation. For now, we're not moving him in the RB Rankings.
