ESPN Says Colts 'All-In' as Daniel Jones Poised to Seek $100 Million Deal

A breakout year on a one-year deal has positioned the Colts quarterback to seek a three-year package near $100 million.

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.
