Colts Offered Daniel Jones 'Sam Darnold Money'

Reports indicate the Indianapolis Colts offered free agent quarterback Daniel Jones a contract similar to Sam Darnold's three-year, $100.5 million deal. Jones' camp countered with a $50 million per year proposal, leading the Colts to apply the transition tag instead. The transition tag tender for Jones is set at $37.833 million for the 2026 season as he continues to rehab from a torn Achilles.
