Summary
Daniel Jones is set to start his second season with the Colts under a massive, injury-risky contract—$88 million, nearly half guaranteed. After a promising rookie year derailed by a fractured leg and Achilles tear, critics like ESPN’s Bill Barnwell call it the worst deal Indy’s made this offseason, warning of a repeat of the Giants’ costly mistake. Jones’ injury history and inconsistent play raise serious doubts, especially as the Colts desperately need stability after Luck’s retirement. But with no better options, Indy is betting big on Jones staying healthy and firing on all cylinders—starting Week One—to revive their playoff hopes and challenge for the AFC South title.
