Daniel Jones Expected to Join Indianapolis Colts

Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is set to sign a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts, worth up to $17.7 million, after a tumultuous season that saw him demoted and ultimately released by the Giants. Jones will compete with Anthony Richardson, the Colts' former first-round pick, for the starting quarterback position. His decision to join the Colts comes after he considered returning to the Vikings but opted for a more competitive opportunity in Indianapolis. In 2024, Jones recorded a 2-8 record with the Giants, throwing for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions before joining the Vikings on a practice squad deal. The Colts are looking for stability at quarterback after Richardson's inconsistent performance last season, which included time being benched. This move adds pressure on teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are also seeking a solution at the quarterback position as free agency progresses.
