On March 30, the Indianapolis Colts just locked in quarterback Daniel Jones with a 2-year deal worth $88 million. They're all in on him as the face of their offense moving forward. Owner Carly Urse Gordon is fully convinced, pointing to his strong connection with head coach Shane Steichen as the perfect match. Jones stepped up big in his first year of starter, going 8-5 with a career-best 68% completion rate on 3,001, 101 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and just 8 interceptions. He even added 164 rushing yards and 5 scores on the ground. The team clicked early, winning 8 of their first 10 games when healthy, but a torn Achilles sideline him and crushed playoff chances. Fans and front office see enough promise to build around him, despite the setback. To afford the extensions for Jones and wide-out Alec Pierce, they traded Michael Pittman and parted ways with defenders like Woody Pay, Zaire, Franklin, and Nick Cross.

Now with their quarterback set, the Colts are banking on a healthy Jones to deliver and turn things around next season.
