On March 11th, the Indianapolis Colts just made waves by signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year contract worth $100 million. That's a record amount for any two-year deal in the NFL, showing big faith in the 30-year old after he joined them this season. Jones had a massive four-year extension with a New York Giants worth $160 million, averaging $40 million per year. It kicked in last year, but things fell apart fast, with injuries and poor records leading to his release after just two seasons. Giants fans are shaking their heads, reminding everyone that Jones only had one winning season before that big deal, and his early career as a starter was 12 wins and 25 losses. They see this as history repeating itself for any team betting big on him. With the Colts, though, Jones earned the starting spot over Anthony Richardson and led them to an eight-and-two start before injuries hit again. He's coming off a torn Achilles, which adds even more uncertainty to this commitment.
Still, a fresh start might unlock something new in Jones, and the Colts are hoping their gamble pays off, where others couldn't make it work.
