Colts Lock in QB Daniel Jones with Massive Contract

0:00On March 11th, the Indianapolis Colts just locked in their quarterback, Daniel Jones, with a huge two-year contract extension worth $88 million, potentially reaching $100 million. It includes about $50 million in the first year, and marks the biggest two-year deal in NFL history. Both sides pushed hard to make it happen quickly. Jones earned this after a strong breakout year with the Colts in 2025. He signed a one-year proof-of-a-deal worth $14 million, grabbed the starting spot, and in 13 games, through for over 3,000 yards. He hit 19 touchdowns against 8 picks, plus five rushing scores, before an Achilles tear sidelined him in week 14. Team leaders like General Manager Chris Ballard remain confident Jones will bounce back fully for 2026. His mobility have been key to the offense, and early success showed real promise. Meanwhile, wide receiver Alec Pierce also recommitted with a four-year deal at $114 million, citing his desire to keep, throwing with Jones after topping 1,000 receiving yards on fewer than 50 catches.

1:09This pairs the duo for at least two more seasons, betting big on their chemistry amid the team's aggressive spending on core players. The gamble hinges on Jones staying healthy, given his injury history, and the tough row from an Achilles recovery. With these moves, the Colts aim to build on that hot start, and chase deeper runs, keeping eyes on training camp for Jones' progress.
