"Jones, 28, had a breakthrough season for the Colts in 2025 before sustaining a season-ending Achilles tear in December, orchestrating an offense that was flirting with franchise records through the first half of the season. After signing with the Colts last offseason and going on to win a preseason position battle with Anthony Richardson, Jones went on to lead an offense that was the league's most explosive at the halfway point."
"His rejuvenation in Indianapolis last season was remarkable. Jones last season established new career highs in passing yards per attempt (8.1), QBR (63.0) and completion rate (68%). For his career, Jones has passed for 17,683 yards with 89 touchdowns and 55 interceptions."
"But his ability to rebound in 2025 came on the heels of an ugly ending with the New York Giants, who drafted him sixth overall in 2019. The Giants released Jones in November 2024, ending his tumultuous run with the franchise."
Daniel Jones agreed to a two-year, $88 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts that can reach $100 million. The Colts used the transition tag to retain Jones after his exceptional 2025 season, during which he led the league's most explosive offense at the halfway point before suffering an Achilles tear in December. Jones, 28, had won the starting position over Anthony Richardson and established career highs in passing yards per attempt (8.1), QBR (63.0), and completion rate (68%). His success in Indianapolis marked a remarkable turnaround following his release by the New York Giants in November 2024 after a difficult tenure with the franchise that drafted him sixth overall in 2019.
