Colts and Daniel Jones Begin Multi-Year Extension Talks Amid Injury Concerns

The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones have begun negotiations on a multi-year contract extension, with face-to-face meetings anticipated this week. Jones, who signed a one-year, $14 million deal in 2025, is seeking a long-term commitment after leading the Colts to an 8-5 record with 3,101 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions before tearing his Achilles late in the season. The franchise or transition tags are also options due to his injury history, which includes a torn ACL in 2023. His ability to return for the 2026 season start is uncertain, but the Colts are high on his future under Shane Steichen.
