Overview
- Through nine games, Jones has 2,404 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 70.6 QBR while leading Indianapolis to a 7-2 start.
- Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox projects a four-year deal worth about $200 million for Jones, framing him as a top 2026 free-agent target if he reaches the market.
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported Indianapolis is interested in bringing Jones back on a long-term contract after this season.
- The Colts sent their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks to the Jets for Sauce Gardner, a move widely read as a vote of confidence in Jones rather than pursuing a top quarterback in upcoming drafts.
- Jones’ worst outing came in a 27-20 loss at Pittsburgh with five turnovers, yet his overall performance continues to drive extension discussions and MVP chatter.
