Colts Race to Sign Daniel Jones

About this episode

Colts Race to Sign Daniel Jones, Giants Dilemma: Jones or Pierce?

The Indianapolis Colts are in a tight race to sign quarterback Daniel Jones before Tuesdays deadline, with reports suggesting a fifty-fifty chance. This situation echoes the Giants dilemma from 2023, where they balanced contracts for Jones and Barkley. Now, the Colts consider a similar move with wide receiver Alec Pierce. Jones, who signed a one-year $14 million deal with Indy last season, is still recovering from a torn Achilles injury. The Colts have team options, including a franchise tag on Jones at $43.895 million or a cheaper transition tag at $37.833 million. Alternatively, they could lock in Pierce long-term and let Jones go. Either way, the decision will significantly impact the Colts offense for next season.

On March 2nd, the Indianapolis Colts are racing to sign quarterback Daniel Jones before Tuesday's 4 p.m. Eastern Time deadline. Reports put the odds at 50-50 for a deal that could keep him off the free agent market. This situation feels like a repeat of 2023 for the New York Giants. Back then, they balanced contracts for Jones and running back Saequan Barkley by signing one and tagging the other. Now the Colts eye is a similar move with why receiver Alec Pierce. Jones stands to benefit no matter what after signing a one-year 14-million-dollar pack with Indy last season. He's still rebuilding from a torn Achilles injury that sidelined him. Team options include a franchise tag on Jones at $43,895,000 or a cheaper transition tag at $37,833,000. Otherwise, they could lock up Pierce long-term and let Jones walk. Whatever they decide, it locks in a key piece for the Colts offense heading into next season.
