Daniel Jones Secures $88M Extension With Colts Despite Achilles Injury

The Indianapolis Colts have signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a two-year, $88 million contract extension despite a torn Achilles suffered late last December. General Manager Chris Ballard admitted he likely underestimated Jones's accuracy during his first season with the club, where the quarterback performed well enough to earn the significant new deal. The contract reflects the team's confidence in Jones's recovery and his ability to lead the Colts' offense during the 2026 season.
