Daniel Jones has found a new home.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jones is finalizing a one-year, $14 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts, where he will compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting quarterback job.
Jones had a chance to return to the Minnesota Vikings and be the backup to J.J. McCarthy but the opportunity to become a starter in Indy was more enticing.
Jones spent the final two months of the regular season on the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad after an unusual end to his time with the New York Giants. He returned from a torn ACL suffered in 2023 to start the Giants’ first 10 games last season. But after starting 2-8, the organization decided to demote him to No. 3 on the depth chart in part to prevent an injury that could have guaranteed future years of his contract.
