The Indianapolis Colts have made a significant move by signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year extension worth up to $100 million. This deal not only underscores the team's confidence in Jones but also sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
According to insider reports, Jones is on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, with a strong possibility of being fit for training camp. After suffering a torn Achilles in December 2025, his recovery has been nothing short of impressive, positioning him as the likely Week 1 starter for the second consecutive year.
Last season, Jones played a pivotal role for the Colts, throwing 19 touchdowns against eight interceptions over 13 starts, and leading Indianapolis to the top of the AFC South. His performance revitalized his career and earned him this lucrative extension, providing the Colts with much-needed stability at the quarterback position.
With Jones back, Indianapolis is poised to build on this foundation. The team's general manager, Chris Ballard, will be looking to make strategic moves in free agency to bolster the roster and break a five-year playoff drought. Colts fans have plenty to look forward to as the team gears up for a promising 2026 season.
