The Colts have locked up Daniel Jones.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Colts and Jones agreed on a two-year, $88 million contract extension that could be worth up to $100 million.
Jones, who will turn 29 in May, signed a one-year deal with the Colts last offseason. He helped lead the Colts to a 7-1 start before rupturing his achilles tendon that ended his year.
Prior to the season-ending injury, Jones was having a career year, throwing for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The Colts placed the transition tag on Jones that would’ve allowed him to play next season on a one-year, $37.833 million deal had the two sides not agreed to this deal. He was also free to negotiate with any other NFL team at that point, but Indianapolis would have had the right to match any offer sheet.
