  • Jones has completed 69.9% of his passes for 2,659 yards with 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions, ranking ninth in passer rating and QBR, and he is described by Fox News as the NFL’s leader in passing yards.
  • Playing on a one-year deal reportedly worth about $14 million, Jones said he really enjoys Indianapolis but hasn’t focused on his long-term future.
