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.

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.

2021 (Giants): A cervical neck pinch (disk herniation/spinal stenosis) forced him to miss the final six games of the season.
2020 (Giants): Dealt with multiple injuries, including a hamstring strain and a pedal ankle sprain.

And JJ somehow is Mr. Glass? :rolleyes:

Daniel Jones, through 10 weeks last season when the Colts were 8–2, led the NFL in passing yards and ranked top six in both completion percentage and yards per attempt.

We aren't talking about Highlander here, there can be more than one fragile QB. JJMs start to his career isn't looking any better in terms of availability. Until he proves he can answer the bell for more than 2/3 of a season his health will be a valid talking point.
Point being one guy has played 1 season and it could be an anomaly.....another guy (Kyler) has a much longer history of being injured/nicked up. That's a trend. Way more information to make a judgement on. Kyler's game is amazing mobility and escapism, so expect that trend to continue.
