The Indianapolis Colts are in discussions regarding a multi-year contract extension for quarterback Daniel Jones, who is looking to solidify his future with the team following a season-ending injury.
According to reports, both parties aim to meet face-to-face this week. Jones has expressed a desire to remain in Indianapolis, and the Colts are keen on retaining him, especially considering he was performing at a high level before his injury last season.
While negotiations are ongoing, there is speculation that the franchise or transition tags may be viable alternatives for the Colts. These tags could be more beneficial for the team”s salary cap situation and would prevent Jones from entering free agency. The deadline for these tags is set for March 3.
“The question really is, what exactly is that number that makes sense on a multi-year deal?” noted NFL insider Tom Pelissero. “These discussions this week are crucial in determining the direction of this situation in Indianapolis.”
Before suffering an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the final four games of the 2025 season, Jones led the Colts to an impressive 8-5 record, throwing for over 3,100 yards, with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
As Jones looks to revive his career, staying with the Colts remains a strong possibility. This week could be pivotal for both Jones and the organization as they navigate the complexities of contract negotiations.
