About this episode

Colts Sign QB Daniel Jones to Record-Breaking Two-Year Deal

The Indianapolis Colts have made a significant move by signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year contract worth up to $100 million, breaking the NFL record for the largest two-year quarterback deal. The contract includes a base salary of $50 million in 2026, with up to $6 million in bonuses, and $38 million in 2027, including $10 million guaranteed, with another $6 million possible in extras. The deal also ties $100,000 to each win where Jones plays at least half the offensive snaps over the next two seasons, providing incentives for his performance. This short-term commitment allows the Colts to maintain flexibility for the future while investing in Jones and planning their roster for contention.
