From the article

STACKED’s take
Taylor's contract extension talks could escalate if no deal before camp; leverage unclear.
Taylor is in the final year of his contract with the Colts at age 27. The situation is far less contentious than the last time he sought a new pact, which saw him conduct a hold-in until he got paid. When asked about his contract this summer, Taylor was cordial but made it known he'd like to continue getting paid in Indy. The source raises the question of whether the situation could turn sour again if no extension comes before camp, or if Taylor might ratchet things up. The source also notes that when Jones was out last season, defenses could sell out to stop JT, and it wasn't pretty. If Taylor is going to be asked to keep carrying a hefty load with little aid, he might want commensurate compensation into the future.
