NEWS: The Colts are finalizing a two-year, $88 million extension that can be worth up to $100 million with QB Daniel Jones, sources tell The Athletic.
Jones was transition tagged last week as Indy continued to negotiate with his camp. Now, they get it done.

Nothing says "potential expensive disappointment" like a situation in which the QB is wheeled in to sign his contract....

I don’t know what the most correct thing for them to do was. I have to imagine that 2026 will be a subpar year for him, and you’re hoping for more in 2027. That’s a lot of money to pay him for basically one year of his time, but you can’t really commit long term due to the injury, and you’re kind of punting on 2026 and there’s not really any super great options out there.
I think they would very much be a candidate for any of the free for one year QBs out there as a backup/insurance policy.

He can come be QB2 behind JJ in 2028.

I'm glad they paid him and we didn't.
