There is no momentum between the Colts and Daniel Jones on a long-term deal, which means a transition tag is now the expected outcome today, per
@RapSheet
.

Indianapolis would pay Jones $37.8 million, but also give him the opportunity to find a bigger contract in free agency.
I’m ok with that.

So....

We can only use one tag per off-season...

Today is the day. By 4pm, we are tagging someone...

DJ or AP ???

Who is getting it?

I'm not. You don't even know if he'll be ready to play on opening day.

Update on Colts free agency:

There’s been some positive movement in the past 24 hours. Talks w Alec Pierce continue and a deal today feels possible. But long way to go. This will likely go down to the franchise tag deadline today at 4 ET.

Daniel Jones’ situation also fluid.

There really aren’t any other realistic options though.

I think they need to get DJ done first for this very reason.

Transition-tagging QB Daniel Jones would, by rule, take away the Colts' ability to use either tag on WR Alec Pierce, who'll have a robust market. Meanwhile, Pierce wants to know who his QB will be before doing a new deal ...

More coming in our Tuesday Notes.

Yeah, but if they tag Jones, they’ll have zero leverage with Pierce and he can pretty much just go to the highest bidder.

It’s a pretty sticky situation for the Colts and why they should have extended Pierce last year.

It costs way less to tag Pierce than it does to tag Jones. I also believe the competition to sign Pierce will be keener than the competition to sign Jones. If you tag Jones, you're saying bye bye to Pierce. If you tag Pierce, you still can sign Jones. IMO

100% agree.

My vote would be to tag AP if he will not sign a new contract prior to 4pm today and still try and get DJ on a reasonable (for the team) contract knowing that he might get signed away by someone willing to pay more money.

If we’re just comparing players, I’d agree. Pierce is a MUCH better receiver than Jones is quarterback.

But the NFL is so starved for competent quarterback play that Jones will be almost as sought after as Pierce, in my opinion.

Some team like the Jets will give Jones a crazy deal if he gets to the market.
