Overview
- The Colts informed quarterback Daniel Jones on Saturday that he will not be moved before the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to reports from Tom Pelissero and other league insiders.
- Multiple teams made inquiries about Jones in the days before that decision, with the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota among those said to have called the Colts about a possible deal.
- Jones has struggled on the field this season with six touchdowns, 10 interceptions and heavy sack totals, raising concerns about performance amid trade interest.
- Jones' contract complicates any trade now because he signed a two‑year, $88 million extension this offseason and an acquiring club would face roughly $41 million in remaining cash obligations while Indianapolis would carry about $35 million in potential dead cap.
- The franchise remains in seller mode under interim personnel control after recent moves that included trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and veteran Jonathan Taylor remains the primary player actively shopped for draft capital.
