I've said before that I believe that Daniel Jones will do everything that he can to remain with the Colts in 2026 and beyond ....... he caught a lot of shit when he was playing for the New York Giants in the first 6 seasons of his career, and I think that he's smart enough to know that his legacy is more important than a few million dollars one way or the other ...... he made $108 Million while playing for the Giants between 2019 and 2024, and he got another $14 Million this season playing for the Colts in 2025 ...... that's a grand total of $122 Million that he has already collected before his 30th birthday. Jones originally committed to Princeton and wound up going to Duke, so he presumably has enough wisdom to know that remaining in a situation that is leaps and bounds superior to the one that he was mired in for 6 seasons in New York is more important than a few extra million dollars on the free-agent market.
I'm presuming that brainiac Daniel Jones is well aware of the fact that he probably already has enough money to send his grandkids to college someday ...... if Jones doesn't do everything in his power to structure a contract in a team-friendly way in order to remain with the Indianapolis Colts, then he is a fool whom I wouldn't lift a finger to defend in regard to his career decisions.
