Daniel Jones Signs Contract with Colts
Daniel Jones has signed a two-year, $88 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts, a deal that could rise to $100 million with performance-based incentives. This contract marks a new chapter for Jones, who is currently recovering from a torn Achilles injury.
At the signing, Jones received $50 million fully guaranteed, with an additional $60 million guaranteed for injury. The Colts had previously placed the transition tag on Jones, which would have paid him approximately $37.833 million for the upcoming season, before finalizing this contract agreement.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Jones stated, “I’m fired up to be back,” highlighting his eagerness to contribute to the Colts. The team has shown unwavering confidence in Jones, with sources indicating that they never considered pursuing another quarterback option.
Jones’s career has seen its share of ups and downs. Drafted sixth overall by the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft, he faced challenges that led to being benched and eventually released. However, he rebounded with a breakthrough season in 2025, throwing for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns before his injury sidelined him.
Throughout his career, Jones has accumulated impressive statistics, passing for a total of 17,683 yards, 89 touchdowns, and 55 interceptions. His performance in 2025 was particularly notable, as he was recognized as a tremendous leader and a highly productive player.
As Jones transitions to his role with the Colts, observers are keen to see how he will perform post-injury and whether he can replicate or surpass his previous successes. The Colts are hopeful that Jones will lead their offense effectively as they aim for a successful season.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific timeline for Jones’s recovery and return to the field, but his signing with the Colts certainly sets the stage for an intriguing season ahead.
