NFL - NEWS & NOTES

After a contract dispute that has lasted for months, the Colts and running back Jonathan Taylor have agreed to a new deal.

The Colts and Taylor have agreed on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $26.5 million guaranteed.

For Taylor, it’s a good deal at a time when few running backs are getting good deals. NFL teams showed very little interest in giving long-term contracts to running backs this year, but Taylor got the deal he was looking for.

It’s a big risk for the Colts, given that Taylor is coming off an injury and the running back market has been devalued in the NFL, but they believe he can get back to the level he played at in 2021, when he led the NFL in rushing yards.

Taylor will make his 2023 debut on Sunday against the Titans.

 

There continues to be a disconnect between the NFL’s on-field officials and the NFL’s disciplinary procedures for on-field infractions.

The latest example is Raiders defensive lineman Jerry Tillery, who laid a late hit on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert on Sunday that the officials thought was bad enough for an ejection. The hit set off a skirmish along the sideline as many of Herbert’s teammates came to his defense.

But the NFL only fined Tillery $10,927, much less than many players get fined for seemingly more minor infractions. Today the NFL announced eight different fines for Week Four that were bigger than Tillery’s fine, and yet none of those players got ejected.

This has got to be addressed, its ridiculous! I can not comprehend the sheer stupidity of the people in charge... its mind blowing with all these discrepancies.

 

Could someone explain the oddly specific fine assessment? Why not $11,000?

In all candor, the refs and the NFL disciplinary committee need to have some sort of conference to come up with a consistent system of fines and discipline.

 

This got a $13k dollar fine... its all messed up.

 

You can cream a QB for $10k, but splash some brew and pay, $13+K... Im really alarmed at this stupidity.

 

"are you not entertained?!!?!?" lol

 

Huh $13,659 for this the NFL better known as the no fun league has struck again

 

Since I started bitching about fines, I found this little thing... pun intended. Is this really a fine? Is this worth $10K ? WTF!

 

Epenesa, holy cow, what a play! Foiled a great answering drive by JAX... that was a 'big play'.

 

HALFTIME

JAX 11, Bills 7

 

Huge turning point! Unfortunately the Bills couldn’t fully capitalize and get a score coming out of the half. Jags currently shooting themselves in the foot

 

Its a really fun and amazing game. Its got everything. Just when you think someone is going to punch it in a great defensive play happens, very cool.

 

Really what a BS fine that was

 

Just typed that and Lawrence made a huge mistake by sticking the ball out, not controlling it and Oliver creamed him... oops.

 

Williams with the pick on Allen. I was just going to type nice things about Allen, but I'll wait till next time.

 

Gotta love it... Lawrence with blood all over his throwing arm.

 

Etienne just may have sealed it.

 

Damn near, but Bills have that quick strike ability. They’ve hit a few big plays, just haven’t been able to finish. Can’t count Allen out yet. If they come up empty on this drive then they might be done

 

What the hell did they want the LB to do there? Receiver had to drop to his knees and LB was making contact at the catch point

 

Refs keeping the Bills hopes alive this drive
