Colts Lock in Jones, Pierce with Massive Deals

0:00On March 31, Indianapolis Colts just locked in their starting quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Alec Pierce with massive free agency deals. Jones signed a two-year contract worth $88 million, potentially up to $100 million with incentives. Pierce got a historic four-year deal for $114 million. Ownership made it clear they're all in on this duo moving forward. Senator Carly Urce Gordon broke it down on the Pat McAfee show, saying they talked to players first about what the team needed. Both Jones and Pierce wanted to stay, and the locker room gave the green light, especially for Jones after his rough injuries. Players were impressed by Jones battling through a torn Achilles and even playing multiple gains with a broken fibula. They noted the fibula only handles about 15% of body weight, but still, they grit sold them on keeping him as the leader. This shows the whole organization, from top brass, like General Manager, Chris Ballard, and Coach Shane Steichen, to the teammates, is united behind these.

1:02Moves, no split opinions, everyone's bought in. With this cord duo back together, the culture set of strong for next season and beyond, betting big that their belief turns into wins on the field.
