Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler projects Jones could land a nine-figure contract, citing Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold’s three-year, roughly $100 million deals as direct comps.
- Jones is playing on a one-year contract worth $14 million with $13.15 million guaranteed and up to $3.7 million in incentives.
- Indianapolis is 8-2 through 10 weeks with Jones leading a top offense, and PFF metrics place him near the top in yards and yards per attempt.
- The Colts’ trade for Sauce Gardner and the loss of first-round picks the next two years are viewed as signals the team is committed to its current window with Jones.
- No extension has been announced, and Jones could reach 2026 free agency absent a new deal or a franchise tag, according to multiple reports.
