The Indianapolis Colts have officially signed veteran quarterback Daniel Jones to a short-term contract, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The move brings the former first-round pick to Indianapolis as the team looks to solidify its quarterback room during the busy NFL free agency period.
According to @RapSheet, the agreement is specifically a short-term deal designed to give Jones a fresh start. The structure of the contract is notable, as playing well throughout the 2026 season could set the quarterback up for another major payday in the near future. This arrangement allows the Colts to evaluate Jones while providing the player with a clear path to a long-term commitment if he finds success on the field.
The Colts have been active in the market as they look to build a competitive roster for the upcoming season. Jones, who has spent his career looking to maintain consistency as a starter, now joins an Indianapolis offense that has been searching for stability at the helm. Further details regarding the guaranteed money and total value of the contract are expected to emerge as the signing becomes official with the league office.
