"Jones will receive $88m over the next two seasons with $50m guaranteed. He can make an additional $12m through incentives. Jones led the Colts offense to an 8-2 start last season. But following the bye week, Jones played through a hairline fracture in his left leg and then wound up suffering a season-ending torn achilles tendon in early December."
"He completed 68% of his throws last season for 3,101 yards his highest total since leading the New York Giants to the playoffs in 2022. He also threw 19 touchdown passes, his highest total since 2019, and had eight interceptions."
"Ballard made it clear in January that his top offseason priorities were re-signing Jones and receiver Alec Pierce, who led all NFL qualifiers in yards per reception in 2024 and 2025. Jones and Pierce developed a close rapport on and off the field last season, and the Colts were so committed to keeping them together that Ballard also traded longtime No 1 receiver Michael Pittman Jr to the Pittsburgh Steelers."
Daniel Jones agreed to a new contract with the Indianapolis Colts guaranteeing him $88 million over two years, with potential earnings reaching $100 million through incentives. Jones led the Colts to an 8-2 record last season before suffering a torn Achilles tendon in December. His availability for the upcoming season remains uncertain, though team leadership expressed optimism about his participation in training camp. Jones completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards and threw 19 touchdowns with eight interceptions last season. The Colts prioritized retaining both Jones and receiver Alec Pierce, signing Pierce to a four-year, $116 million deal and trading away Michael Pittman Jr. to maintain their offensive partnership.
