Daniel Jones Seeks Massive Colts Deal

0:00It's March 9th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to Stay Locked In All Season. Daniel Jones is holding out for a massive deal with the Indianapolis Colts. He turned down their three-year offer worth $100 million, which match with Sam Darnal got from the Seahawks. Instead his team wants around $50 million a year, putting him ahead of stars like Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford. That ask would rank him as the 13th highest paid quarterback in the league. Jones has strong leverage after the Colts put the transition tag on him last week. They know he boosted their season before everything went sideways. Jones stepped in as starter and turned the Colts into one of the hottest teams in football. His play helped save jobs for General Manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen. But then came a torn Achilles in week 14, ending his year. The Colts faced pressure to lock him up now. Officials say the quarterback market only gets pricey or over time, with salary caps rising every season.
