(By Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler)

**********************************



3) l Daniel Jones, QB


Current team: Indianapolis Colts

2025 salary: $14 Million

Age entering 2026 season: 29


What he brings: Jones has elevated his level of play and poise under coach Shane Steichen in Indianapolis. Through 10 games, Jones' 66.8 QBR ranks 9th in the NFL, and he is throwing with a much stronger sense of timing. He fits in an offense that features a good run game, which allows him to operate as a facilitator. (Matt Bowen)

What we're hearing: Jones has a chance to become the biggest earner in the free-agency class. The Colts appear to be all-in on keeping Jones long-term, and they have comps for former top-10 picks who thrived when quarterbacking a new team ...... Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, who each earned 3-year deals worth around $100 Million. Jones would totally be justified asking for that ...... with interest. (Jeremy Fowler)


7) l Alec Pierce, WR


Current team: Indianapolis Colts

2025 salary: $3.7 Million

Age entering 2026 season: 26


What he brings: A vertical stretch target at 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds, Pierce is averaging an NFL-best 20.9 yards per catch. He has the straight-line speed to lift the safeties to create open coverage voids underneath. With more volume and an increased role, Pierce could produce somewhere as a multi=level route runner in 2026. (Matt Bowen)

What we're hearing: Teams I've talked to anticipate that Pierce will hit a big number in free-agency. They think that the $20 Million per year threshold isn't out of the question for him. Pierce is poised for his first 1,000-yard season and has the size/speed combination teams covet. The Colts have decisions to make on offense. If they pay Daniel Jones ...... who has chemistry with Pierce ...... do they let Pierce walk ??? Much of that will depend on how Pierce's market develops. The Colts typically don't do extensions during the season. (Jeremy Fowler)
