Daniel Jones has signed 2 yr 88m contract

[sherck]

I really have nothing against paying Jones....except that I don't think he has earned the right to it yet....

Yet being the operative word.

10 games of good to great QB play mixed in with 3 games of stinker play....that is his resume with the Colts.

He could be our next franchise QB and deserving of all the money....

Or he could be the Daniel Jones of the NY Giant years....

I am very, very, very, very (times many) glad that we have set it up that he has to play at least one more full year before we roll up the Brinks money truck and dump it on him.

Not that getting $44m put in your pocket as signing bonus is chump change.

But getting paid that much every year of a long-term contract? Yeah, that is a whole 'nother beast.

This is a good contract for the Colts. If he flames out, and sorry to say I think this is the direction he will go, then after the 2027 season CIG can clean house and start over.

If he succeeds? Then I eat a LOT of crow and the team is all for the better for it.
