Colts Lock in QB Daniel Jones with Record-Breaking Deal

0:00On March 11th, the Indianapolis Colts have locked in quarterback Daniel Jones with a two-year contract worth $88 million. A source close to the deal confirmed it on March 11th. This pack sets a new record as the richest two-year deal in NFL history with a top value of $100 million. The agreement includes $50 million fully guaranteed and $60 million protected against injury. Earlier this month, the Colts had placed the transition tag on Jones, which would have paid him $37.8 million. Jones delivered his best season yet, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions across 13 starts. The Colts bolted out to an eight-and-two record before dropping their last seven games and missing the playoffs. Coming off a one-year, $14 million packed last off season, the 28-year-old former New York giant signal caller tore his Achilles and set out the final four games.
