Free agent quarterback Daniel Jones is reportedly expected to sign with the Indianapolis Colts, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero on Tuesday (March 11).
"#Vikings QB Daniel Jones is expected to sign with the #Colts, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. It’s a one-year deal and the parties are finalizing it. While Minnesota was a strong option, Jones opts to compete with Anthony Richardson in Indy," Rapoport wrote on his X account.
Jones, a former first-round pick, went 2-8 as a starter in 2024, throwing for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions on 216 of 341 passing and has a career record of 24-44-1 in 69 starts for the New York Giants before being granted his release last month and signing with the Minnesota Vikings as a reserve, spending most of his tenure on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster ahead of the playoffs.
The former Duke University standout was selected by the Giants at No. 6 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft and rewarded with a four-year, $160 million extension in 2023 after a career season and playoff victory, which came against the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in the Wild Card round.
