Colts Lock in Daniel Jones with Short-Term Deal

0:00On March 11, the Indianapolis Colter closed the locking in their quarterback with a new deal for Daniel Jones. Reports say negotiations are advancing quickly toward a short-term extension, likely around two years, to bring stability without tying up the future. Jones signed with the Colts before the 2025 season on a one-year contract worth $14 million. He came from the New York Giants and a stint on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad, then beat out Anthony Richardson to claim the starting role, and showed solid early season play. This move offers the Colts much needy consistency at quarterback after years of ups and downs there. Fans and team leaders see it as a smart step to steady the offense. Details on the money are still under wraps, but sources close to the talks expected to give both sides room to maneuver, especially as Jones works. Back from injury, with this agreement in sight, the Colts look set to build momentum and chase deeper playoff runs next season.
