Overview
- The Colts informed Daniel Jones on Saturday that they will not trade him before the NFL deadline, a move the team says secures a quarterback for the rest of the season.
- Indianapolis has already moved veterans Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner as part of a sell‑off that aims to convert roster pieces into mid‑round draft capital.
- League sources say Jonathan Taylor is the most likely high‑value player to be dealt before the 4 p.m. ET Nov. 10 deadline, with teams such as the Giants, Vikings, Seahawks, Broncos and Packers showing interest.
- Jones’s two‑year, $88 million deal includes extensive 2026 performance incentives and a roughly $10.5 million injury guarantee for 2027, factors that make him costly and complicated for suitors to acquire.
- The Colts, operating under interim personnel chief Ed Dodds after GM Chris Ballard’s October firing, are prioritizing futures‑heavy packages that add draft picks for the incoming long‑term front office hire.
