Quarterback Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth up to $100 million. The deal guarantees Jones $88 million over the next two seasons, with the potential for an additional $12 million in incentives. Jones, who joined the Colts after being released by the New York Giants, had a productive season in Indianapolis, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns before a season-ending Achilles injury. Re-signing Jones and receiver Alec Pierce were top priorities for the Colts this offseason, leading to the trade of Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers. The Colts may still look to acquire a backup quarterback after allowing Anthony Richardson to seek a trade.
